I made a few reversible fleece blankets for Christmas & they went over very well, so well in fact that the men have taken the daughter's blankets lol. I guess I will have to make some for them too for next Christmas lol. I decided it was time that I made one for myself so this one is for me. It is back breaking work as I cut the strips on the floor, no other place big enough to support the whole thing & if is shifts you are in a pickle. It is really warm & all these minus temps we are having it will be perfect to keep me warm. I just love this pink fleece! It seams to go with everything!

109777You've done a lovely job. I have found that the men seem to like plaids with a solid if you do some for them. /Lillian

Yes we seldom make things for ourselves & when we do we often end up giving that a way too. I hope to keep mine Thanks Marian ~hugs~

no way I asked him if he wanted one too & he said no that's ok so I will be warm & cuddly all by myself lol. Thanks Barbel
26010Hi Loralye, is the the blanket that you tie the strips together? Do you have a sewing line first and then cut the strips etc. etc. etc? Love Chris

yes & no I cut the strips & tie the knot but no sewing @ all. I use rulers to mark the line 3 inches from the bottom & another ruler to mark an inch apart. Thanks Chris they are exceptionally warm with the double fleece. ~hugs~

June Tailor has a ruler with the slits cut out, so all you have to do is put your rotary cutter in the slit and cut. So much easier, on time and back.

360637Do you have a dinning table big enough to cut the edges? I use mine for everything; not so hard on the back.
These look so warm and cozy.
How did you put these together?

Thanks Loosie it sure is warm & cozy! As for the dining-room table I don't think it is wide enough but will see if I can for the next one, thanks. ~hugs~
