Bare with me I am new at this ok here goes... you need two pieces of fleece that coordinate with each other about 1 1/2 to 2 yards. Lay them on top of each other trim to make them even. Make yourself a 4X4 in. square to use as a template to cut out the corners. Like this
Next cut your strips about 4 in. long
Now I tie every other strip, do both long sides first then the ends so the material pulls even. (double knot)
Now tie the rest and you have yourself a nice little lap blanket this one of course is for Noah. I hope all of this made some sense.
The doll house is coming along nicely all the windows and walls are painted.
Oh yea my sister Robyn who is pregnant went to the doctor today and he told her she had dilated 2 cm. Andrew should be here soon!
Off to watch Heroes!

It turned out so great. I have never made one, but always wanted to. I have some extra fleece to use up so now that I know how, maybe I'll give it a try. I'm glad you showed how to do the corners. Someone told me and I was alittle confused about what they were talking about. you did good. I love your doll house, can't wait to see it done. I had one once and it was a lot of fun decorating all the rooms. Go to a wall paper store and ask for their old display books. Some of them will make great wall paper and even flooring.
I have made several of those, they are warm too :)
We have made so many of those blankets!!! They are great gifts and they are so very warm! They really are the best!
Your little house is really coming along...very cute!
We have one of those blankets that was a gift when my daughter was born. Now my son sleeps with it (never mind that it is pink and green!)
The dollhouse is looking great!
