The next baby blanket I make is going to be a cable sampler. I'm going through cable patterns right now to pick out the ones I like the most. After I wade through all of that, I'll start designing the blanket pattern. I do know, however that I want it to alternate between cables and textured stitches. It'll have nine 12"x12" blocks with a small border around each block and a large border around the entire blanket to offer seperation and to tie it all in respectively. Here's the general outline of what I'm thinking:
**Edit...yeah I changed the pattern picture. This is my new idea...a central celtic knot that's surrounded by smaller squares and a 3" border. Let me know what you think!

So that's whats on my mind. I'm ready to get me a couple pounds o' love and start knitting.
Speaking of cables, does anyone have any good resources for finding different cable and braid patterns? I'd really like to get working on this blanket, as I have a feeling its going to take some time.

wow, that looks ambitious! i admire your ability to come up with that design. it's going to look great! good luck and make sure you post pics while you're working on it! :)
mmm cables! Isn't it fabulous?! it looks so hard but is really pretty easy!
THere are books (like at the library etc.) that cover just cable patterns. I borrowed one called "the harmony guide to aran sweaters" or something, which had tons of cable patterns :)
