My youngest son has been asking for a new fleece blanket for his bed for a few months now so I was very glad to have had time this month to make it for him. He picked the design, he wanted the lizard panto on it so lizards it was! I finished this on Monday but couldn't bring it to the guild for Show and Tell on Tuesday as he wasn't too happy with the idea of me 'stealing' it back for the day.
The cute panto is called Lounge Lizards and I used two layers of fleece, no batting.
I also made a small fleece baby blanket for the guild. We were cleaning out are guild cupboards and I took some fleece home to make some comfort quilts. Looks like I have Rae's challenge done!!! :) She challenged all the guild members to make one comfort quilt next year. I wonder if this will count as it's not 2012 yet. That's okay as I'm sure I'll be making a few more in the next 12 months.
That lizard panto is so cute, just perfect for a boy. Very nice baby blanket, it looks cozy too. One of these times maybe I'll be brave enough to quilt fleece, I have made several untied fleece blankets for gifts throughout the years. Have a great holiday!

Just love the lounge lizard panto! Very very cute. Can you tell me-- how do you load the fleece to avoid the stretch? I seem to get pleats-- even doing something simple like a meander.
