on 11/27/2008 These are so warm and cozy. A youth group that my son belongs to did these for "The Gift of Giving" project. They made them as lap blankets and they were donated to elderly in a nursing home that had no family to bring them goodies. The kids were able to present them to each person. It was awesome! The recipients loved them.
