No-Sew Fleece Doll Blanket Craft For Kids And Adults
Ta-da, I took the box with all my fleece scraps down from the attic, and quickly whipped up this adorable no-sew fleece doll blanket as a gift for a beloved three year old, to keep her baby dolls warm.

Okay, I can't say that actually quilting together the front and back went smoothly, nor is the quilt flat as it should be, but for a first try, I'm going to give myself a break! Ever seen those gorgeous quilting blogs that hang their quilts…

Giant Lonestar Quilt Block Using Fleece
When you've been wanting to make quilts for years, and finally take a few baby steps forward with that dream, starting with very simple quilt projects is certainly a good idea, so when I saw a pattern for a giant lonestar baby quilt, wherein the whole blanket is just one traditional quilt panel, I just had to give it a try. And since I was in need of a present for my husband's birthday, I figured I'd make a few panels and make a twin sized quilted fleece blanket! And surprise surprise, I did actually finish the project, so do take a look at my giant lonestar quilt using fleece.…
