Interesting. I made a fleece "blanket" for my dh. No one mentioned not to use fleece. I did the kind that you cut the edges and tie. This makes it a double thickness. Dh likes the soft feel, and it seems to stay on him without slipping off. I am sure some patients would have a problem with it. Thats good to know. Our center will furnish a blanket if needed, but I notice most of the people have their own. Some are very pretty quilts.
