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?

did you cut a square from each corner? my mom had me do a few of these blankets for her Godson for Christmas one year. One side was Red and the other was Spiderman. I remember cutting a square from each corner and then 1" wide strips on each side. Then you tie the red fleece strip to the spider man fleece strip(or whatever fleece you use).

It looks like you didn't cut the squares from the corner.

i did cut the squares actually - i cut the fabric 1 yd by 1 yd, and the squares were 5". the strips were 2" wide.
