I am making a two sided fleece quilt for my DH's 5 year old nephew as a
quickie Christmas gift. On one of my business jaunts, I found wonderful
Yankee baseball fleece and he is absolutely ga-ga over them. I bought that
for the front and navy fleece for the back. I was going to do a white
buttonhole stitch around the edges but am not quite sure what kind of thread
to use. Help, please!

Hi Sniggs, I would love to make myself a poncho and I was wondering what
pattern you are using. I love the braided edge idea for the blankie.

My son was given a wonderful fleece blanket. Two layers of fleece.
Bound with cotton fabric. Tied with yarn. It is very very snuggly.

For the buttonhole stitching...are you thinking hand or machine? For
machine I'd use what I had on hand. For hand I'd likely use a thinner
weight perle cotton.
