Very good fleece blanket - kids love them

Great fleece blanket! My almost 8 year old got it last Christmas. Sometimes she got lost and needed an adult to help her untie the knots to fix it, but generally she did it herself. She is proud, cheerful with her grandmother and mother, and she is soft. This is a favorite. I bought another one this year to give as a gift.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Matching

An interesting project that takes time.

I really enjoyed making this blanket! My little one is too small to mess around but she loves the end result. It took a long time but very nice. I'm really excited to buy more stuff to make more! Even adults will enjoy making these blankets. Just be very careful not to miss any of the fabrics when assembling the squares. Solve - pain. very easy once you figure it out. A wonderful rest for your spirit.

  • Very good price

Should probably be recommended for children aged 7 to 8+.

I have a very talented girl of 5 ½ years old so when I saw the age range of 6 years and over I thought it would suit her. It wasn't for 2 reasons. First, the squares were too difficult for her to knit together, and second, it would take a lot more patience than the average 6-year-old to go through the whole quilt. It ended up taking 2 adults and 2 kids 9+ about an hour to put it all together. I could see this working well for a nimble, patient 8-9 year old and even then it will probably need…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Incredibly exhausting.

My daughters got this for Christmas and I thought it would give them something to do for a few days and maybe the quilt would be special because they made it themselves. I underestimated the time it would take to assemble this monster. My daughter worked on it on the side for about two weeks and didn't get halfway through it. My other daughter complied and donated the remaining samples to her sister. I've even tried to finish it a couple of times and it's so agonizingly repetitive that I give…

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • No machine

A fun quilt that would make a great gift or service project

The Melissa & Doug quilt makes a fun gift for an older child that can build themselves. This would make a great Girl Scout, worthy project or gift. I chose the Windsor pattern. Directions were easy. The quilt pieces are soft, but you have to be very careful to align them. Do not over-tighten the knots or you will make a mistake and have to undo them. The colors mixed for me and I missed a few so I found my mistake and came back. Make sure you are fully awake when you collect your blanket. The…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
