(Make a long rectangle, maybe 10 inches long, an inch wide, and sew each end of it through all the layers of your blanket.) Now you can carry it by the handles! (they will be on the underside of the blanket when you lay it out, and not bulky enough to bother you when you lay on it) My kids and I have worn out the one I made years ago -- maybe I should do a "makeover" on that one too!!!
