Then measure in from the edge 4 inches and mark and make cuts with good scissors, then just go back and tie them off. One secret is to not tie them too tight so that they don't pucker. They wash beautifully and I have never had such warm blankets. We have them for all family members and even the dogs have them on their beds and in the truck. There is no sewing which makes them pretty fast to put together. Good luck and let me know how they turn out.

I started to do this last night...when I got to the corners I didn't know what to do..I had to cut off the bottom (where I had already cut and tied) because it didn't look right....
So what you are saying is I have to actually cut out the corner?
And the tied pieces are 4 inches long? Do I tie each 4 inch peice or do I take 2 and tie them together?
