If you have rotary cutters and a mat, you can get a plastic Fringe Cut Ruler that has slots 1 inch apart. :-D Makes the cutting go a LOT faster.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.hancockfabrics.com/product/iMainCat/6269/iSubCat/6320/iProductID/37817/37817.html" REL="nofollow">Fringe Cut Ruler</A>Journo June aka MamaBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147813827912805263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15845185.post-31690168477521392962007-12-18T16:52:00.000-08:002007-12-18T16:52:00.000-08:00I made one after I saw how easy they looked.OK, so...I made one after I saw how easy they looked.<BR/><BR/>OK, so the tutorial is right. There is no sewing involved, and it is pretty easy to make. It failed to mention how long it would take! It took about 90 minutes to cut it all out and another 90 to tie ALL THOSE KNOTS!!! I did it on the floor and by the time I was finished my back and knees were killing me! Next time, if there is a next time, I will do it at a table!<BR/><BR/>One thing that saved me is that I have a cardboard sewing cutting board. It is about 3 feet by 6 feet and it is marked out in 1 inch grids. That made it really easy to cut the strips one inch apart. <BR/><BR/>So, the whole blanket really only took about three hours (or two Lifetime Christmas movies) and it turned out really cute. I've already wrapped it for my nephew, but I will show you a picture after my sister opens it.<BR/><BR/>It is solid forest green on one side and soft pastel safari animals on the other side. It is really cute and it goes with the jungle/safari theme my sister set out for him. Even the Intimidator like it!Kaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079621987754074605noreply@blogger.com
