    UCLA Fleece Quilt

    Has anyone made a quilt from College fleece fabric? If so, how did you do it?

    My son is graduating from UCLA and I want to make him a throw size quilt using the UCLA fleece fabric. I have scoured the net and found numerous tutorials on how to make a no-sew fleece throw. These are fun throws but I want to make a very special quilt since he's getting a graduate degree in TV Production.

    Any ideas would be very welcome.

    Thanks a bunch,

    Sande

    I have the UCLA Fleece fabric. I bought it last year with hopes of incorporating it into a quilt for Ben.

    How about using the fleece for the back of the quilt and doing a pattern with UCLA colors for the front?

    Thanks for the video links for no sew blankets. I'll watch them but I was hoping to stay away from that look. That's great that you almost attended UCLA!

    Hi Sue,
    I have tons of t-shirts that I've saved over the years and I think this is the time to break them out. I'll use the UCLA fleece on one side and t-shirts on the other. I assume I won't need to add a batting because this combination will be thick. Thanks for your input. Sande

    If you crochet, then crochet-lined fleece blankets look really nice and are a step up from just fleece, assuming you don't have a quilt idea instead.
    People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
    than people who never start projects at all.
