Lots of times I use fleece for the applique ... but this time I used scraps of cotton fabrics instead.

Ooh! Lovely blankets and quilt. I especially noticed the fleece blanket which appears bound. I will have to try that. I have to date just turned a narrow hem on my fleece blankets. Love the look of the binding. Did you bias cut it? Penny

I just sewed it on, folded over and stitched with a feather stitch to catch all the edges and hide the seam. I have coordinating scraps of Winnie the Pooh fabric to make appliques if I wanted. Still thinking about that.
