craftgrrlQuick, cheap, easy "extra" presents for my almost-in-laws:
Fleece blankets
Top left: practically-nephew, ten years old, loves motorcycles and skateboarding
Top right: practically-brother and sister in-law, she's picky, so I wanted something festive so she wouldn't have to feel like it had to be out all year
Bottom left: practically-niece, two years old, loves Dora and Care Bears and everything pink
Bottom right: practically-mother in-law, it totally matches her living room tan and blue furniture, I was so excited!
Edit: they're easy schmeasy to make :o)
I used 2 yards (with the fabric being 58 inches wide) for the adults, 1 1/2 yards for the little one, and 1 3/4 for the medium. I only did less than 2 for those because I was being cheap.
Cut off the un-patterned/yucky edges and pretty much just start cutting. I made the fring about 4 - 5 inches long and an inch wide, but don't stress about exact measurement. Cut around all the edges (either curving around the corners or just cutting the squares out), and then tie a knot in each fringe at the base. Super easy, reasonably quick, and cheaper than yarn.
