I personally am a little tired of just fringing the whole darn blanket as I have seen this for so many years. Doing it this way makes for a little bit bigger blanket too as you are not using up so much fabric in the tying process.
Such a smart idea, I have bought fleece to make little beds for the local SPCA cat crates and this idea will make it that much quicker. Thanks, Cindy
