Here's mine (for my nephew Creighton of course!):

Here's Drea's:

While these are relatively quick and easy to put together, by the time you tie that last tie, you are definitely done with doing that type of craft for awhile! :)
And here is an action shot of Drea's blanket in the initial cutting stage...
All you need is a good set of sharp scissors, a ruler, two pieces of fleece in the size you want to be your finished blanket and some patience... okay a lot of patience! ;)
Both of our blankets began by laying both pieces of fleece together, then cutting out 6-inch squares from every corner. Next, you cut a strip through both pieces that is 1-inch wide and 6-inches deep. Once all your strips are cut, simply tie the pieces together!
That makes it sound easy, but it really is a test of patience (and your ability to sit on a hard floor!).
Have you made a fleece tied blanket?
And PS....Thanks again for the motivation Drea... we have to have another weekend like this soon!! :)
Boy, that was the most craft-filled, productive weekend ever! And the guys were around AND you managed to watch a movie? Amazing!
