The green and the light blue were my favorites too. There were 7 children involved so we had to have a different color for each one. Also these two were the softest fleece. Even though made by the same company the different colors can feel different because of the dye I suppose.

So, how did the day turn out? Did you get done what you wanted to? No fun in housework...have to give yourself a legitimate snow day!!

I love them all. Just a hint for next time; no insults intended, but you don't have to turn the hem as fleece won't fray. You can just do a fancy stitch or zig zag in a little from the edge. I do mine on the serger, but if you don't have a serger, you can just do a stitch to fancy up the edge. It saves some angst and time. I do the curved corners too, so much easier than trying to make a crisp corner.

Gran I appreciate your advise-thank-you for sharing.

Ms Georgia Peach {Purrrr} you did really good for your snow day, very very nice work...I am purging & straightening all my stash-gosh it feels great.
