For Christmas last year, I made my Mom a no-sew fleece coverlet. She's decided that she really loves pink these days. So, I found some really pretty pink polka-dot fleece and some chocolate brown fleece. I bought 2 yds of each and spread them out on the dining room table one on top of the other. I trimmed one side that didn't exactly match and then started cutting tags all around the edges of both pieces, leaving one side uncut. After I had all 3 sides cut, I started tying the 2 tags that were on top of each other together in a square knot, making sure that the opposite color of tag was showing. Once I had all 3 sides tied up, I took the coverlet to my sewing machine and stitched a decorative stretchy stitch to seal that seam. I did that so Mom wouldn't have the tags tickling her nose and face as she slept. :D
After it was finished, I decided to make another to sell. It's really pretty. I love the mixture of pink and dark brown. And, the double thick fleece coverlet is SOOO soft and cushy. Very comfortable.
Today, I posted the twin to my Mom's coverlet on my shop at Andy0514.etsy.com. She had several hits quickly.
Check her out in the Sellit section.
