No-Sew

our first handmade no-sew fleece blanket! I'm so in love with it! It's just so stinkin' cute! Justin & I, of course made it for Abby Kate! Mama got an early Christmas present so I guess this is hers! ;)

First, you will need about a 1 1/4 yards of each (top & bottom)

We laid out the fleece evenly on the floor and cut off the selvage edges. Then cut 4" squares from each corner and 3 1/2 to 4" lengths along edges. (to be honest, we didn't actually measure the lengths when cutting the edges, we just "eyed" it)


Then you tie the 'fringes' together like this! Justin's a pro now by the way ;)


and it will start looking like this. 
Continue tying all fringes together.
((Look at Abby getting better & better at sitting up on her own)) gosh, isn't she so precious?!


Voila! It is complete! ((Abby enjoyed helping as well)) 


This was such an EASY project and a plus for the quality family time we got to spend with each other! :) 
Overall, it took about 45 minutes cutting, measuring, and tying to finish!

Merry Christmas to me!

34 days early!
thank you Justin, you are so sweet and I love you more and more everyday!
This is one of my new favorite pieces of jewelry! He did such a wonderful job picking it out! Isn't it pretty?!
