Thanks so much for asking this question and for the great answers! I have been wondering how to make some fleece blankets for Project Linus, thinking this way would be faster, since I am so slow making quilts. Though that is my first love. I bought a balde from Nancy's Notions, but need a different cutter than my normal auto-retractable one. Have to get onto this to see if making one of these is actually faster than making a simple quilt. Though the fleece one can be done in front of the tv in the evenings. Thanks again!
