Fleece is nice - I have an old chunk of it that we use a lot - in fact, it took me about five years to even up the piece so that it folded up better. Actually, it's kind of pilled now - but, so what?

No need to hem, fringe, or anything. They can just buy a big piece and use it!!!! It's softer and fuzzier than most quilts - I do recommend washing on warm, not not - and drying on gentle -

But really - five people cuddling under one quilt? Maybe buy some sweat pants and sweat shirts if the house is chilly.
