I could be wrong but from the picture it looks like you are using only one layer of fabric.
The fleece throws I made were two layers of coordinating fabric and tying the strips held both pieces together. I guess you could make a bigger hole and pull them both through.

I have done this, but I don't use a seam ripper. I use a small rotary cutter.

I think i answered my own question.You cut out the corners,like 4 inches then cut the strips the same length.

I always use two layers of fleece for the tied blankets. I tie tight double knots and none have come untied and DGD washes her blanket at least once a month. I am making three for gift this year. I use two yards of 60" wide no pile fleece for top and back and make 5" cuts for the strips. I machine sew around each corner for stability.

It is just one layer of fleece. I've never made a two layer fleece blanket but I think you could use the same method on two layers successfully.
