SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- 2 1/2 yds Anti-Pill Plush Fleece
- Rotary cutter, blade and mat
- Clear plastic ruler, 36" long
- Sharp fabric scissors
- June Tailor fringe cut slotted ruler
- Water soluble marker
- Sewing machine
- Basic sewing supplies
DIRECTIONS:
- Cut twelve 1 1/2"x 58" strips of fleece. Set aside.
- Trim salvage edges off of the remaining piece of fleece. Fold long edges under about 1/2" and stitch to hem.
- With the right side of the blanket facing up, fold both unfinished ends up 12". Use the water soluble marker to mark a line 6" up from the fold. Stitch along marked line.
- Cut edge open along the fold.
- Fold upper flap down so that each short edge of the blanket has a 6" border that is made of three layers of fleece.
- Use fringe cut slotted ruler and rotary cutter to fringe the edge of the blanket without cutting through the stitch line. Cut fringe as narrow as possible.
- Layer 1 1/2" wide strips into sets of two. Stitch down the center of the strip along length. Fringe stripes on either side of the stitch line without cutting through the stitches.
- Pin fringed strips to the top of the blanket, using the photo as a guide for placement. Following the first stitch line, stitch down the center of the strip to attach strips to the blanket. Trim off any overhang and fluff fringe to finish.

Great finished product
Made this blanket and it turned out wonderful. The instructions are a bit confusing. Would help if there was a picture of project flat and not folded. I didn't use the fringe at the top and bottom of blanket. I gave it a hem there also. When I layered strips, I started 6" from bottom of hem and used a 45 degree angle for placement. Then marked for strips every 12 inches from 45 degree line. Then ran 45 degree lines on opposite side of blanket going other direction. Since I didn't use the fringe top I needed 3 extra strips for completing . Overall, loved finished product and would make again.

not enough information in directions.
the directions state "Pin fringed strips to the top of the blanket, using the photo as a guide for placement". This site does not provide a photo of the overall blanket, just a section of the blanket, scrunched.
