I back most of mine with fleece. It's soft, warm, and durable!

I used a strip of flannel as a flange and then trimmed it up to make it raggedy just for interest.

Then I felt compelled to make a pink one anyway so I made the ice cream quilt. It was fun!

Do you mean by calling these cute creations " blankets" there is no batting/quilting on them....just two fabs layered and sewn together?

Actually, I did use batting in them, although some people skip that step when using fleece because it's so thick. I did sew some lines in a decorative stitch across the pink one, but the one with the roses I just tacked with a stitch here and there. I confess, free motion quilting scares me!
