They're safety pin covers. They make it so much easier to pin a quilt (less strain on arthritic hands) and also make it easier to spot as you're quilting, especially with FMQ when you're backing up. Sometimes those silver pins can get lost in the quilting, but with offset colors it's easier to spot.
