When you make your blankets, do you have a front and back?

If I'm making a throw, I just use one layer. If I'm making a rag quilt, using fleece, I use 2 layers.

As I sit here with the two sided blankie my sister made me two years ago, I started retying the fringe that has come undone.
Thanks for the new method, I think I will use it for my DD's two-sided Christmas blankie.
As far as the fleece fabric, I buy the anti-pill. It costs a tad more, but worth it. I stay away from the cheap stuff and the stuff that is too stretchy. It does not hold up very well to washings and use.
I too have done about 30-40 of these over the past few years. Boy, do my hands get tired cutting and tying. Thanks for the tip.

Do you have one of those grids for cutting? I use the Shape Cut Plus Ruler for cutting my fringe. That way all my lines are consistent.

This is the tool I use to cut the fringe.

Use the corner squares you cut out to practice on.

Quilters are just too-o-o creative! What a great idea for a single-thickness fleece blanket! Thanks for sharing. Patty
