It's official, the mitered baby blanket that never was has been reborn as the Mason-Dixon Knitting Moderne Log Cabin Baby Blanket. I didn't do the outer blocks because it was already 25" by 34" and those blocks would have added a lot more than that. Plus, if I wanted to do it, I would have needed to buy more of the yellow and light blue yarn. Somehow, I ended up with three balls of yarn left, two dark blue, one white. Go figure.
Cutest picture first (I think he likes it, don't you?):
A couple of in progress pictures:

that looks great, I did not realize from the earlier pictures that it was so big. Nice work!
Thanks! I am pleased with how it turned out. 🙂
