Log Cabin Progress
Baby log cabin continues to grow. All of the colors are now in play and I like the result. This little guy is growing fast. Several more strips and I'll be finished. I'm wondering if I should back it with flannel. It would give the blanket a more finished look, but I worry that it might make it too bulky. We live in an awfully warm climate. Any thoughts?

So Gorgeous! Now I want to make one! My vote...no lining. We live in a very cold climate and I still wouldn't line it because garter stitch is so flexible that I think it will pucker and wave and you will be disappointed. You could always just make a second one for chilly times.
Those colors are fabulous. Can you tell me what yarn you are using? Is it Tahki Cotton Classics? I love love love it. So great.
No lining it is. (I stink at sewing anyway.) The yarn is Lion Brand Cotton Ease. It's discontinued but you can still find it on ebay. However I'd probably substitute KnitPicks Shine instead.
wow! that is absolutely gorgeous! i wouldn't do the lining. i am making one, too (with koigu), and i am not going to line it. i live in a warm climate, also.
