THe guys in my life, Dad, Brother, Nephews and Son's ages 70, 41, 20, 17, 14, 10 and 3 all love a special throw blanket in favorite colors or team. I've also made Quillows for the older Nephews and my 10 year old and they were also a big hit. It takes 2.5 yards of 2 different materials and 2.5 yards of batting. I cut the cost of the fabric a little by purchasing a less expensive solid to go with the print I use on the front and I only purchase batting on sale or with a coupon. (A friend of mine uses fleece as her 2nd fabric wich eliminates the need for the batting. They still look great and are cozy.
