5 layers for each throw. Each throw is width of fabric and about 50 inches long. They were all for adults. They make up very quickly.

Is this the TOP? This is beautiful! How far apart are your stitching rows? And did you use flannel for the insides? This is real pretty. I can't stop opening the picture and peeking. Oh and is this washed or will it ruffle when its washed? Soooo pretty!

Beautiful! Love the fabric. I have made 5-6 and always put the printed fabric on the bottom with the wrong side showing through the slits! Love the design on top cut part. Will try your way the next one I make. Thanks for sharing!
