scrappy fleece receiving blanket
 

So I had so many scraps of fleece that my plastic fleece bin wouldn't close. I saw Nancy Cornwall's book about polar fleece where she says to overlap the seams and use water soluble double-sided tape to hold them before sewing. So that's what I did--I cut all my fleece scraps, coordinated them into matching colors, made them into rectangles with the wavy rotary cutter, and then made them into blocks, and made this receiving blanket. I have enough scraps left to make some more. It was fun.

so, is it just one layer of fabric? No backing, right? Love this idea.

Yes; it's pretty much the same on the front and back.

Great idea!! I have been on the lookout for a project to use up my fleece scraps. Thanks!! Your blanket is darling!!

Really cute!

This is a great idea to use up fleece scraps, I am going to dig out all my fleece scraps and get started making a cozy blanket!

cute little ducks

Me, too. I love the blanket and my supply of scraps of fleece is pretty much "never ending". Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea to use up those scraps and make something both useful and pretty -- thanks for sharing!

So cute and looks so soft.

Very cute!!

Love it. I have fleece scraps also. Great idea!

Cute "blankie". I have lots of polar fleece scraps, too. I think I will use this idea. Thank you.

Really cute!!!!

My daughts love smaller single layer fleece blankets to keep in the car to cover up little one or even big ones. they fold up smaller and really are warmer than crochet blankets. This is very cute!!!!!

What a great idea, love how this one came out. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. Made a really cute blankie.

I'm not familiar with water soluble double sided tape - is found in the sewing notions?

Mine is called Dritz Wash Away Wonder Tape. I think I got it at Joann's, but I was thinking that a glue stick might be just as good for this.

love these adorable colors!!!!!

Sew cute and cuddly! Where do you get water soluble double sided tape?

See answer #28 above.

What a great idea!! Your colors are so nice and bright.

That is so darling

That is really cute! Definitely looks 'snuggable' :)

What a great way to scrap quilt. I have a big ole bad of fleece scraps downstairs and wasn't too sure just why I was keeping them. :) Now I know!! Scrap bag here I come!

I love this idea of using up scrap fleece, will keep this in mind. Thanks for sharing.

Really cute, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day

I have no fleece but I might have to go out and buy some to make that little blanket. It is so wonderful.

I for one have a lot of smaller pieces of fleece that would be perfect for this. Bet I could make a lot of them for Project Linus. I just love it.

That is so cute!! NO one would know it was from scraps (unless you tell). I bet I know what my next baby quilt will be. Thanks for sharing.
