This is a cute idea - I love fleece blankets because they are so soft & have such cute designs. I love doing crochet baby blankets, but they are labor intensive & time consuming. Sometimes I hear about someone that I'd like to give a blanket, but do not know them well enough/have the time to spend the hours necessary for a 'full crochet' heirloom sort of blanket. This gives me a way to add that extra handmade touch to a very attractive, still thoughtful, serviceable blanket gift.
