Well, I'm making some for my family for Christmas and I need to make it for 9 people, and I have 55 dollars to buy fabric (I'm poor, I know) Anyways, I live in Cali in the East Bay, so are there any cheap fabric stores that sell really cheap fleece? I need 18+ yards.

Do you HAVE to use No Sew Fleece or can you use the sewing fleece?

All fleece is made for sewing AND not sewing. The same with felt. It's just a material that will not fray. Most fleece just stays how you cut it, but I have worked with some very thin fleece that curls up in a really pretty way when it's cut.
It's on sale at Jo-Anns right now, but you'll still go a little over budget. If it's cheaper to make pillows instead, You should be able to find pillow forms for $4.00, or maybe you could make them without the insides and call it a pajama bag! Also, if you are willing to deal with a little bit of fraying, flannel is less than $3.00 a yard so you might be able to do it that way.

I don't know what the prices are in California for a yard of fleece, but $55 doesn't seem like it will be enough, especially with a sales tax on top. Here in NH, we have no sales tax, and most of the fleece I have seen goes for about $8.00 a yard. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. Good Luck.

take a chew of polar fleece the scale you want the blanket to be, then upload six inches on the two facet, for the perimeter, then purchase the different piece for the lower back facet, decrease the fringes in six inches deep and one inch extensive, each and each of ways around the two products, then lay them flat on the floor one on wonderful of the different, and tie a sq. knot in one fringe from each and each blanket at the same time, and do this each and each of ways around the perimeter.
