My mother was in a nursing home, and many of the other patients received no visitors or Xmas gifts. My daughter and I made a dozen lap robes and single bed sized blankets for them last Xmas. A lap robe takes 1 yard of each fabric, and a bed blanket takes 2. We made the double sided, tied blankets. We bought the fabric a little at a time. We found some 1 yard remnants as well. My mother has since passed on, but we plan to do this again in her memory.

I have a really warm fleece blanket made of 2 layers of fleece. Just cut two pieces to the size you want plus 12 inches. Cut 6 x 1 inch fringe all the way around both pieces. Lay two pieces together and tie top and bottom fringe pieces together. Makes a wonderful blanket or throw.

Glad it is helpful. I have done this for my husband
and I and our daughter's family. It helps us to keep
the gas bill lower by turning the heat down and
still be warm. Fleece also makes good baby blankets and I forgot to mention that.
Merry Christmas

Thank you so much. This sounds easy enough for me to do and just what my family needs.
