Block #6 for Melva's Little House sew-along came out last Thursday, so I worked on that over the weekend. The center is called the Snowflake block because book 6 in the series is The Long Winter. It's made with lots of little half square triangles, and I was very careful to lay them out and sew them together in the correct orientation!
Then the log cabin surround was added, strip by strip.
And we're up to six blocks now! Looking at all the blocks together, I'm seeing that I used more orange in the first three (top blocks) and more turquoise in the second three. I'll have to add some more orange in block 4!
The step of adding the log cabin strips to the center block needs lots of leader/enders in between, so I sewed sashing and borders onto the Spool Love blocks and turned them into a little mini quilt top. I'm working on a backing for it now.

Your Snowflake block looks amazing, Diann. I worked on mine today as well paying close attention to the orientation. I love the color palette you are using. The plaid in this block is scrumptious. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
