Just picked up a few fleece throw blankets for my sister's birthday. She loves those, but I'm more of the Mexican throw blankets type (you can get them in the shop by Pirates of the Caribbean).

What kind of blankets do you guys like to throw on you?

Cindy, I'm on the side of the fence w/ your sis! Just love how soft those fleece throws are. In the summer, it's gotta be cotton though - and please don't put it on me when I sleep - just a sheet 365/24/7 for me! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

We have a bunch of the mexican throw blankets. I love them because we can take them camping, on picnics, etc. But my all time favorite to snuggle with is my chenile throw that DH bought me for Christmas two years ago. Its in the wash right now so I'll be ready for the chilly nights we're expecting this week.

Soft fleece. But don't expect to be alone under that soft fleece blanket in our house. Our dachshund needs to be covered too. She usually takes her blanket from room to room, if we let her.

Why, my homemade quilts of course [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Ds is quite picky about which one he uses, sometimes it's the one with the hearts (that I made for his daddy [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] , but don't try to tell him it's not his), other times its his baby blanket with airplanes on it!!!

I love my cotton thermal blanket on the bed. I miss it when we stay in a hotel and they have those heavy blankets that make you sweat. I have a cotton throw I use when I'm laying on the sofa watching TV.

I have a cotton throw in the living room for tv watching cuddling and a waffle blanket with satin binding around the edges on our bed...ahhhh [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

We have a lot of couches/love seats and each one has a throw - mostly handknit or crocheted afghans. My father's oldest sister crocheted one for me when she found out I was "keeping company" with my DH. I think that means "dating". I taught myself how to knit when I was 12 or 13 and my sister and I knit about 20 squares to make an afghan. My son loved it and used it often but accidentally put a hole in it, so I repaired it and I'm knitting him his own so that he'll appreciate how much time and effort goes into the process. Then there's the one that DH and I received for a wedding gift. At the time, I thought it was useless but now I realize what a useful gift it was. It says "HOME SWEET HOME".

And then, last year, just after Dale Earnhardt died in the Daytona 500, we were in K-Mart and my DS saw a throw with Dale's car embroidered on it and he just had to have it! So I bought it for his birthday.

All of the throws have a personal meaning and they all get used.

For sitting bundled up on the chesterfield - it's a crocheted afghan or a soft fleece throw.

On the bed, depending on the season, we have up to 2 Hudson Bay blankets (the ones with the red, green, blue and yellow stripes) and the Log Cabin quilt I made years ago.

Oh man, I would drape myself in polar fleece all the time if I could, love that soft comfy feel! Now, I just want to find a king sized polar fleece for our bed...heaven!

Fleece is the most comfortable for me. But when I'm cold anything will do.

Cotton or micro fleece baby blankets for cuddling on the couch with the baby and watching TV. We had a dozen or so queen-size comforters that we started tossing when we ran out of storage space. They took up so much room and besides - my MIL buys three new ones for us every year even though we've asked her not to. I guess she worries about us living in the boonies with her grandson and losing heat to a power outage. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] We have a floral comforter with frilly girly lace on the bed (a gift from you-know-who) and a cotton blanket for me when I get too hot. I have to have a blanket on the bed even in 100 degree weather.
