Valley Yarns 161 Valley Log Cabin Blanket

The Valley Log Cabin Blanket is a fun and easy way to combine lots of colors in a single project. Each log cabin square begins with a small center square, and the work is rotated 90 degrees. Each progressive strip is built off the side of the previous piece until you have a large square. The large squares are seamed together, and a single color border is added to form the blanket. This would be a great project for the advanced beginner who wants an easy, portable project.
