Thanks for this great idea. I just made it for a dear friend today. I found that if you do the cuts not so high up it lays flatter. instead of folding it in half to do the cut, fold to a third, and then it didn't tend to curl in quite so much. Thanks again. I will definitely do this again. Definitely will do it for donations!!!!!

My mom got addicted to making no sew blankets, so this was a massive help! Just finished making one for a baby shower gift and I love the way it came out! I've made a couple before from watching your video and they always come out fantastic. You make it very simple to understand and I thank you for that!

I’ve found a good rule of thumb for blanket size is two yards for an adult, one and a half for kids, and a baby blanket is one yard. If you have a really tall adult I do 2 1/2.

I have never made a fleece blanket before (or any type of blanket). After watching your video of making this No-Sew Fleece Blanket with a Braided Edge I am encouraged about seeing how easy it is to make. I really like the look of the braided edge better than the tied edge fleece blankets. Thank you so much for making and sharing this how-to video. At 70 years of age I think I am ready to make my first braided edge fleece blanket.

Thanks for the great video. I love how my blanket turned out. I did change the way I braided it by twisting every other strip on the right 180 degrees before inserting the strips on the left so that my braid shows both the front and back colors equally. It tied the two sides together... literally and aesthetically!

Would like to know if the braided edge is softer than the tied edge? I know it doesn’t feel great when the tied edge gets under you and it is very uncomfortable with that knot. Is the braided edge more comfortable when it is underneath you? Doing the braided edge also doesn’t waist as much of your fabric with cutting only 2 inches instead of 5 inches. Great demonstration and very well explained. Thank you!

My mom is very proficient on a sewing machine and I grew up learning how to stich my own clothes lol things most men aren't taught now days, but the idea just came to me. Pillows get sewn inside out, we're doing no sew blankets and this style is no tie as well, I'm gonna try it to see what happens but I'm just looking for not so much guidance but if the idea seems "normal"

Good question. I haven't made one that is only one layer yet. You will still need to tie a knot, which means it will probably show. You could try to weave the ends back into the braid a little to make it less obvious. Or maybe add just a tiny bit of sewing instead of a knot, if you know how. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of it being a no-sew blanket. :D
