This easy-to-make blanket can be made in a snap. Use for lap quilt, room decor or throw around your shoulders at a game. Layer two pieces of fabric, cut and tie fringe and you're ready to go. No machine needed. No sewing. Use flannel for snuggly warmth.

sewing ruler and fabric marker (optional - for marking lines before cutting)

2 pieces of fabric:
I used one 45" x 45" piece of flannel fabric for each layer. I chose a print for the top and a solid/blender contrast color for the opposite side.

*FABRIC NOTE: 42" - 44" is a common width for quilt fabric. The width of your blanket will depend on the width of your fabric. For example, if the width is 42", the width of your blanket will be 42" (including fringe). The length is determined by the amount of yardage you purchase. If you purchase 1.5 yards of 42" fabric, your blanket will be 54" long by 42" wide (including fringe).

use 1/4" seam allowance

Iron between each step. Read through all directions completely before beginning.

1. Cut Fabric Pieces

Lay down one piece of fabric, wrong side up. Lay the other piece of fabric directly on top of the first, right side up.

Cut the 2-layer piece to the desired size. I wanted a square blanket and my fabric was 45" wide, so my blanket was cut to 45" x 45".

2. Cut Out Corners

Cut out each corner from your 2 layer piece. The size of corner you remove depends on the length of you will cut your fringe. The corner sides should measure the length of fringe you will cut. For example, my fringe was cut to 3", so I cut my corners 3" x 3". Cut through both layers of fabric.

3. Cut Fringe

Cut slits between corner cut-outs. The fringe width is your choice. I cut my fringe approximately 1/4 " wide x 3 " long (I estimated; I did not measure). The images are not to scale, but show the idea.

4. Tie Fringe

Tie each set of fringe (tie the fringe piece from the top layer to the fringe piece directly below). You can tie once or twice. I found that once was sufficient (rather than the usual double-tied knot).

The fringe will "soften" in appearance when machine washed and dried.
