After 2 washes the walmart quilts actualy start falling apart, and are done overseas in a sweat shop. Someone I know bought several, thinking such a better deal she got home made quilts for less $$$. Wanted me to fix them for her I told her I could make one easier then keeping the repairs up from the poor workmanship that these quilts are.
Beautiful fleece blankets are there but as for me and people like me we would rather have a nice quilt. Can't stand the feel of fleece for long.

I thought I was the only one who didn't really like the feel of fleece.

I attended a craft show last year and the lady had made fleece dog and cat blankets. They seemed to be selling well and she had cut out different sizes (small and large) and tied the ends. Most were made out of cute dog or cat fleece fabric. Can't remember if they were two layer.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Fleece feels vaguely oily to me. I can't stand it.

My daughter doesn't like it because if your hands are a little dry, it will stick to it. Being Army, her hands are always dry.
