I love blankets, and i have always heard about people making "Fleece Tie Blankets" so I went on Pinterest and found a fairly easy How To site to get it.

Here is the end result of mine :)

And some "In the Process" pictures

Here are the directions:

2 yards of 60" wide solid color fleece fabric for front of throw: we used turquoise fleece
2 yards of 60" patterned fleece fabric for back of throw: we used black and white zebra print fleece
Small see-through ruler
Long ruler - a yardstick will work, but a long metal ruler works better
Fabric pencil
Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
Straight pins

Assemble the layers

Place the turquoise fleece square and the zebra fleece square wrong sides together.
NOTE: It can be difficult to tell the right side of fleece from the wrong side. One thing to remember is the selvage edge of fleece will curl when stretched; the side it curls to is the right side of the fabric.
Make sure all the edges are even. Don't pull or stretch the fleece; it's better to just smooth the two layers into place. You can distort fleece if you yank on it.
Using your fabric pencil, measure and mark a 5" x 5" square at each corner.
Cut the 5" x 5" square out of each corner.
Lightly mark or place a straight edge (long ruler) along one side of the throw from cut-out to cut-out, 5" up from the edge.
Cut through both layers together neatly at 1" intervals up to the line to create fringe.
Tie together each pair of fringe cuts with an overhand loop type of knot. Your fringed border will look SO much neater and hang better with this kind of knot rather than tying the two pieces together like a shoelace.
To make the knot: hold both pieces of the fringe pair together. Curl them up, creating a small circle at the base of the curl. Feed the ends back through the circle, from back to front. Twist the fleece pair just slightly as you pull the ends through to make sure the correct color stays on top. Slide the knot up to tighten
Repeat steps 5 - 8 on the three remaining sides.
