For Christmas, I made a big, warm, fleece blanket for a certain baby. He's really tall for his age, so I wanted to make the blanket
huge. I believe I made it 48 x 60, give or take a few inches.
As you can see, I made it two-sided - one side frogs and one side monkeys! It is very soft and very warm - perfect for winter! Being still a beginner in sewing, it didn't come out perfect, of course. You can see in the picture that the edge of the frog side shows up a bit in the monkey side ^_^. That's what I get for not investing in some chalk, right?
I was originally going to do it the lazy way, which requires no sewing at all (just cut some strips along the border, tie them together, and you're good to go - search "no sew fleece blanket" to know what I mean). But I really don't like how it looks. Sure, it's easy, but it's not pretty!
Anyway, I like how it came out, even if it is a bit crooked! Hopefully my next one will have straighter edges!
