More questions

Well, I looked in the no-sew section in the FAQ but didn't really find what I was looking for and since I got a helpful response last time I posted a question, I thought I would go for it again.

I am wanting to make a no sew fleece blanket with matching pillows for my special someone. Hehe. Now, I know you can typically just get a length of fleece and *ta-da!* a blanket. I was thnking of getting two piece of the same length, fringing them and tying the fringe together ala the pillows (there was a post about no sew pillows a while back but I can't seem to find it). That way it's extra thick and warm and can be a different color on each side. And of course the pillows would match. I was wondering how many yards of fleece do you all get to typically make a blanket? I'm going to get about 30 (x 30) inches for the pillows (cut seperately, of course, because that's less work for me and I am lazy).

Also... the fringe tying system, while very cool and easy and defininitely workable... isn't very manly. Which I know he probably wouldn't care a bit about but I was just wondering if you all had any ideas about ways to do it to make it more masculine looking.

I am behind in updating with photos of things I have made recently...

I've got some scarf and hat sets and a lightbulb vase and some candles and a vase and wine glass charms and earrings and necklaces and sun catchers.... and wow, I am really behind... for you all to see.
