Please, are there any particular colors to use in one of these blankets? Some to avoid? Things to twiddle that seem to be more successful than others? Twiddle things to avoid like, maybe, buttons? Or, if you use them (like buttons), there are more secure ways to attach them? Maybe dental floss?

I made a very simple, but large-ish, one of these for my aunt: "furry fabric" with a denim fabric frame that had very small plastic nubs on it. She petted it constantly. The nubby denim frame was great until her daughter-in-law ironed it. No more nubs. They melted! Mental note to self: plastic nubs on cotton fabrics, when ironed at high heat, melt. So soon old, ....

Thanks for the help. i am going to mention this thread at our guild meeting.
