The Diagonal Quilt adds a modern twist to the traditional log cabin blanket, letting bold blocks of color take center stage in a sweeping stripe and giving the design a sense of movement.

PATTERN NOTES
This blanket is constructed from 16 modularly knit blocks that are sewn together. Stitches are then picked up along the edges of the blanket to create a border.

In this pattern, all odd-numbered rows are RS rows, and all even-numbered rows are WS rows. The pick-up row counts as Row 1 (RS).

A visual guide is included to help you best understand the construction.
