Dancing log cabin - my 2-step variation

I found the idea for this block on the net, through a group I belong to. It was one of those "I just have to make one to see it " kind of blocks. The original block was a bit different so I call mine the 2-step.

Using up some scraps, I made 4 blocks for a medallion center for a small quilt. This would be the 'beaches and boats' 2-step.

I think I will machine embroider some seashells around the border to help carry out the nautical theme of the blocks.

It isn't only quilting

These are two of the grand boys, DD#3's oldest 2, wearing their Indian costumes.
We made them for Halloween.
The boys had different ideas but when they saw the Indian costume I had made a couple of years ago for another grand boy, that was the choice.
We made them last night and today. The boys seem to be pretty pleased with the results. The little one looks ready to spring into a dance in the picture
I managed to use up quite a bit of 'scrappage', and we made matching 'treat bags' to go with them.

It was a busy day!
