Log cabin squares have always held a special place in my heart as one of my favorite blocks to work with in fabric projects. Over the years, I've created numerous quilts featuring these charming designs. Seeing the beauty of these squares, I decided to venture into the world of knitting to make a Log Cabin Blanket that mimics the traditional quilted charm. For this specific blanket, I’ve chosen an aesthetically pleasing palette with one half of the square reflecting soothing light shades, while the other half showcases deeper, darker tones. The striking red center square symbolizes the heart of the home, infusing warmth and love into this project.
