I say leave the edging off it looks great the way it is. I have been wanting to try & make a Log Cabin Blanket I really love your color choices.

well done on completing the blanket. it does look very nice without an edging. I have one of similar size on our bed, made of crochet squares. The edging for that is done in dc stitch. I spread it over the bed, and worked around it. Had a chair nearby for when sitting down was required.

Why not use the edging from their Moderne Log Cabin? It’s knit on each edge separately and then seamed (tiny little seams, take just a second to do).

Frankly, I thought it was already ‘finished’ when I first saw the picture. It seems to stand on its own, as is. But do what feels right to YOU!

Frankly, I don’t think you need an edging at all. I think you’ve earned the right to be done after knitting that enormous thing!

When I made a MUCH smaller version I used several circular needles and just went from one to the next. I wrapped rubber bands around the ends to keep the stitches from falling off.
