No-Sew Color Block Summer Throw Blanket

by Jackie Hernandez on April 30, 2014 2,168 Comments

Hello, Jackie here from Teal & Lime.

One thing I have learned in my first 10 years of marriage is we will never agree on the ideal temperature for a room. He always likes it about 10 degrees colder than me…year round. Can you relate?

In the winter, I cuddle up with my faux fur throw blankets. I have baskets and bins in every room to hold throws.  The only downside I see to spring is putting my thick, cozy throw blankets away.

Now with the ceiling fan constantly whirring overhead until late fall, I still get the chills. Remember, my hubby likes it 10 degrees cooler? He also likes a breeze. The cool splash of moving air against my skin gives me goosebumps, even in the warmer months.

This spring I am swapping out my favorite winter throws with some colorful, lightweight throw blankets. They are just thick enough to keep away goosebumps.

This lightweight throw blanket was inspired by the super warm tied fleece throw blankets. I love how easy it is to make the no-sew fleece blankets.

How to Make Your Own DIY Shower Curtain

DIY Shower Curtain - just like making a quilt!  via MakelyHome.com

I come from a long family of crafty women.  My mother painted sweatshirts for my sister and I in the 80s.  My grandmother made dolls that looked much like the original Cabbage Patch Kids.  My great, great grandmother made beautiful quilts that I still cherish today.

Even though I grew up creative, I never wanted to learn to sew.  Then when my son was born and I couldn’t find much clothing for him that wasn’t covered in sports themes, I tricked myself into learning how to sew.

And even though I taught myself to sew, I never wanted to learn to quilt.  It seemed too tedious and precise.  But then when I couldn’t find a really great shower curtain for my epic kids’ bathroom, I ended up tricking myself into learning how to quilt, too.
