No Sew Fleece Blanket

Great instructions and the blanket is so pretty. I'm not sure I can do the balloon knot though so I'll stick with the shoe lace one. Doing the balloon knot would be difficult through 2 thicknesses of fleece.

I bought a no-sew fleece quilt kit for my husbands aunt with Down's syndrome (she's 43) for Christmas. She does latch hook sets and paint by numbers all the time, so I wanted to get her something different. It's this one right here Kids Quilt Craft Kit

That looks like a great project and it's very pretty. Love the colorful squares.

I just checked online prices at Mary Jo's (the store is in town and you would think that I would be a little more patient) and they have the NFL fleece for 9.99 -12.99 a yard and there's some you can buy by the bolt. I hope to get by there today and check out what else they have plus prices. Anything NFL is outrageous anytime of the year.

I just remembered that my cousin shops at Hancock's fabrics where she lives and gets great buys. I have to make a trip to Charlotte today and they have one near Petco where I'll be going. Yea!! They might have one near you.

I have made quite a few of these as well. Dogs, Babies, Adults....the list is endless!! I recently made an attempt at doing beds. Just leave a small section open...stuff with morning glory stuffing (walmart sells it) and tie it up. I tufted it with yarn. They came out quite well, i think. And they wash so beautifully!! I did one for Brooklyns ge buddy with a matching blanket. Here are the ones i did for brook and oliver...i think they are fun...i love matching up different prints! my dogs have lots of blankies!! one in the wash, one to replace it with!! God forbid they should be without a blankie!!

Hancock's fleece is 50% off. Hope it's not all gone when I get there.

Those are adorable and I remember seeing some of these in the GE buddy thingy. Thanks for sharing this info. So is the morning glory stuffing just regular cotton that you would use for toss pillows?

That is where I bought my fleece. The 2 yds I got was a little over $10 with tax, but it made two cozy blankets. Our store has a huge lot of fleece, although, it seems like a lot of the cuter things I saw before Christmas were gone.

yes, but it doesnt clump at all when washed. I just throw these beds in the washer and dryer...It is nice stuff!

Those are CUTE! Is there another place to buy the stuffing? Both of our wal-marts don't sell craft items anymore.

These are great, I didn't think about stuffing them, that's a wonderful look, and perfect bed!

We'll I don't think I want to do shoelace ones. But i don't know anything about knots. I will have to play with this.
