now i need to find some pretty gold/yellow/goldenrod fabric, but since its going into spring, i doubt ill be able to find fleece or any winter-y type fabric. suggestions on some alternates?

ok, i used some last call/bottom of the bin fabrics. the first pic (the front) is that fleece/terry cloth material) and the second shows the back - there are actually 3 layers (where the gold comes in), those other 2 layers are felt!
i was anxious to make a trial blanket, and it actually came out OK - i will give it to my soror's baby (she's about to burst any day now!)
the only thing is that maybe i'm tying the knots too tight, because now it doesnt lay flat - its all concave and what not (like a fitted sheet for a mattress). how to fix?
