They go faster. And since I make these to sell my time is valuable. I have probably made 300 blankets in the past 3 years. That is alot of holes punched.
By the way, I use a yard of fleece and cut in half length-wise so I get 2 blankets per yard.
Thanks for all the compliments.
What type of stitch do you usually use? Double?

My stepdaughter has asked me for fleece fabric as she is doing the same thing & it's so pretty! She is making them for Christmas for all the family. I love your quilt also.

I crochet and also would like to know how to put the holes in the proper places. Could you tell us more specifically what we need to do?
