Our son is at Utah State University. For Christmas he gave the cat a fuzzy throw. That was so sweet, but she has enough places to deposit hair without another blanket. Her fav is a blanket from my daughter's youth, almost as old as she is. Bun is a siamese, and turned 18 years last winter - she's doing great!!

So I got some coordinating fleece in navy and gray, and some plaid flannel for the back. I used the fleece throw and made it into a big boy size blanket for those cold college nights. He's get it for his birthday next week.

I did a wavy stitch to quilt it together, using a walking foot. It was pretty quick! And best of all, Bun the kitty approves of it!

He will love it ! Was it hard to match everything up with the fleece ?

Very nice! You're son's gonna love it!

Oh yes. I took the blankie to JoAnns, and finally found "kinda" matches. But it's close enough for a teenager!

Very nice!!

Great job!

That looks great. I'm sure he will love it.

I'm sure he will LOVE it!

That's pretty cool Sara! He will be proud of that!!

How jealous will his friends and bunkmates be?!!!!?!

I bet you'll be taking orders before you know it! :D
