Last night I stayed up and finished three of the kids' blankets.  I still have one more to do.  I used a print on one side and a solid on the other side.  Peanut's and Princess' is 1 1/2 yards long and Peewee's is 2 yards long.  I simple layered the fleece and then trimmed off the rough edges.  I then cut a 3x3 inch square out of each corner.  Then I made 3 inch cuts about 1 inch wide all around the edges.  Next I simply tied them together.  I think they turned out really cute.  Here's some photos of the ones I have done.  They aren't the greatest as I took them in my room which is poorly lit.  After all I can't let them see them yet. LOL

And here is a photo of one of the aprons.  I've wrapped the other ones already.

As you can see I deviated from the original pattern.  I thought it be cute to make them more like little chef aprons.  These were actually very easy to make and cheap.  I spent about $3.00 on each.
