Hi Julie,

What a great idea! I have never heard of a fleece blanket like that. What a great way to break the ice with a quiet teenager

> Sure!  The fleece blanket is just your basic  squares of fleece fabric.  You can cut them any size you want as long as they are square.  Ours are about 8 by 8 or so. Then you cut slits around the edge to make a fringe.  Then tie one fringe from one square to the fringe on the next. We are using three different solid colors, plus one print.   You can arrange the squares in any design you like.  The one we are working on now has light brown, dark brown and forest green in a random pattern for the center of the blanket.  Then the autumn leaves pattern will go around the outside of the blanket.

We meet for an hour once a week.  By the time we get out the pieces, figure out where we left off and get going  there's not a ton of actual work time. Then add in getting into a conversation and  it ends up taking us most of the school year to make a blanket.  It's fun and I think it helps the conversation, especially in the beginning when we were just getting to know each other.

It has to be reasonably inexpensive, say less than $50, be easily portable, can be worked on in small increments and be super easy to learn.   Also it has to be cool for a young teen girl!

I go to the school once a week to meet with the young lady I mentor.  We chat and I help her sort through adolescent drama.  We also do craft projects while we talk.  Currently we are working on a fleece tie blanket. We chose that because it is easy to stop and start, requires few tools and is easy for me to transport back and forth to the school.
