Log Cabin progress

I am happy to report that I'm on track to finish the log cabin throw. It has been on the back burner while I worked on some other stuff. I am within minutes of finishing the last of the 36 squares. I'm hoping to get the squares assembled during the Democratic National Convention starting Tuesday, Sept. 4. I think it is going to be beautiful.

I am also using a Red Heart pattern for it, named Autumn Log Cabin Afghan. I bought all the yarn as required. It is Red Heart Super Saver in #256 Carrot, #332 Ranch  Red, Light Thyme, #360 Cafe, #320 Cornmeal, #378 Claret and #334 Buff. All were listed with the pattern except the light thyme, which was supposed to be #4361 Frosty Green Fleck.

The special stitches were long-dc,  and long-hdc. LONG-DC: yo and draw up a loop in next sc, yo and draw through 1 loop on hook, [yo and draw through 2 loops] twice. LONG-HDC: yo, insert hook in sc directly below the ch-1 and draw up a loop to height of row in work, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Each motif is bordered with 1 row of sc in Buff. The Outer Border is 6 rows, including the two pattern rows of Long-HDC as in Section 7.
