You can use it as a bedspread, snuggle under it while watching favorite TV shows, or use it to cover your legs while reading on your porch on a summer evening.
The best of all is that these projects are actually easy to make! Squares are great for creating blankets, because you can easily customize the size of the final product – simply by using more or less of the blocks. These squares can also be used separately, as coasters, or used to create other stuff, such as placemats, bags, or other. Search for links to free patterns under the pictures below.
