Hi again from Springfield.
I used the same fabric for all the 3 grandson's blankets and backed it with Patriot fleece. The boys loved them and they are holding up extremely well. Their Dad's wanted them too.
I used the leftovers for the winter fleece caps that butterflywing described. About 2 squares tall by 3 1/2 wide. I gathered the top and inserted the strips I cut from the small words RED SOX, about 5 or six cuts. Also made scarves. Another thought for little baby boys is a Taggie: 15/16 inch square with all different textures of 2 1/2 inch ribbons folded in half and attached envelope style. Susan
