I hope I'm not boring everyone with baby stuff, but I found this tutorial site for fleece blankets. Absolutely NO sewing knowledge needed!! I'm making mine this way, because I've never thought fringe and babies went well together. I know, I'm a worry wart sometimes. This is the page for single layer blankets. There's a big link for double layer. Both pages are good to read before you make one, they have a couple of different tips.

These don't have to be baby blankets, either. You can edge a large blanket this way, too. You would just need more yardage.
