I love any diy projects for my daughter that don't involve electronics. It's hard to find age appropriate projects for a 11 year old. It's either to babyish or to adultish. This blanket is perfect for her ages and will definitely keep her busy for a while.

I bought this for my niece. She loved putting it together, the quality of fabric wasn’t at great as I had expected it to be. Overall it was for her and she loved it so that she was great.

This set is a great idea. It is super tedious and I really wanted to finish it right away, so my wrists hurt after I was done haha I would do a bit at a time to avoid frustration and sore wrist. The concept is wonderful, but the price seems quite high after getting it and seeing the product in person. I do love it, but it’s quite small. The dimensions are there but I didn’t really stop and see how big it would be. I would love to purchase another set but even the sale cost of $20 to me is to much to pay again. I think if they sold add on package of like 20-24 more squares I would buy a few of the price was more reasonable to the product. Overall I think it’s a great product for anyone who like doing crafts.

I love this. I love making them. I have made over 10 and I made a really big one with two kits. I'm also waiting on 2 kits to come in the mail today. They are really cute and fun to make. Makes a great gift and very easy to do.

I love Alex craft kits! And my kids do too. I try to get them when they are on sale so I can stock up for birthday gifts. This quilt is soft and the fleece seems to be a good quality. My 7 year old can make this with ease. It's really pretty and also serves a function.

What I like about this product:1) The price2) The colors and the display on the package3) The concept of making a blanket out of fleece tiles4) Great idea for gifts for little girls5) A nice project based craft for young girls and teensWhat I don't like about this product:1) Too many tiles to connect. We are not finished with ours yet because my daughter got bored.2) The length of the ties to make knots should be longer3) Difficult for 9-year old to make knots4) Cheap material. The fleece already started shedding5) Throw is smaller than expected6) Definitely not for all 6 years olds as the package reads: Age 6 and older.

I'm using this as an adult. Don't judge. At least it's not a coloring book. It is weirdly compelling. I knit. I crochet. I don't lack for crafting options, but sometimes it's nice to have something that's simple and relaxing and this fills that need. It's a sort of quick craft -- I've been on it for a few weeks now, which is certainly less time than even a crocheted blanket, but not instant gratification -- and it's easy. It's incredibly relaxing, so much so that I've already ordered the chevron version (which I will work on when I should be working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt) and will probably pick up more. The resulting blanket is very soft and comfortable.There is a right side and a wrong side to the squares. I realized this halfway into the second row (that could be because I started while watching a movie in the dark). It's good to be mindful of that from the start.I find that it's easiest to knot the first and last ties, then a few spaced in the middle, to reduce the risk of skipping one and having to start over. If you need to unknot, a double pointed knitting needing does a great job of opening the knot.I also found some of the pieces not perfectly cut (thin strands hold them together) so keeping a scissor at hand is convenient.Crafty people of all ages will adore this.

Bought for my 8yo daughter who LOVES to tie knots, this kit arrived quickly and contents were as described. First off, SIZE: If you're looking for a bed-sized (even a twin) finished product, you'll need to purchase at least two or three kits. There are 48, 9x9 squares. However, the ties are cut 1.5" into the fabric making the finished (knotted edge) square only about 6x6. Do the math, this is a couch cuddler, lap blanket or something that could be sewn onto a larger piece to get a bigger size without using multiple kits.Second, FABRIC: Thin yet colorful fleece that, once tied, is fuzzy on the outside (knotted) and smooth on the inside. Saw some other reviews that had great issue with the fabric so I was a little worried. Thin or not, even just covering up with it while knotting its a mighty warm little blankie. Most people really seemed to have issue with the tying part and the stretchiness of the fabric. That said...Third, The Process: I've made many a knotted fleece blanket in my time, but always with just two large pieces knotted together on the outer edge. This "quilt" starts out as more work than even the biggest I've made based solely on the 48 individual squares requiring knotting basically all the way around. Also, the nature of fleece is that 2 opposite edges of each piece will have VERY stretchy ties, the other two edges will be less so, but not impossible (this is one of the areas where patience comes into play). The key is in assembly, which I'll try to outline below.Finally, Age Appropriateness: When left to her own devices, my daughter became frustrated rather quickly but this has more to do with her own instant gratification issues and the project being more time consuming than she wanted. Also, the ties are small and if she wasn't paying close attention she'd wind up skipping ties, retying ones that were already tied, etc. SO, this became a mommy & me project, whereby I line up the ties and hold the other pieces out of the way while she gets to tie the knots. This actually made it better because we can knot it while sitting together watching a movie or listening to music.Assembly: After a false start, I think the best way to approach it is to make all the "rows" and then knot each of them together, one at a time. 48 squares is 6x8. 6 different color squares meant 8 "rows" of 6 for us (though you can play with the color pattern however you want). With regard to the nature of the fabric, this is probably the most helpful hint - match up the edges to knot by stretchiness. While we were knotting "rows" together, we would join those squares by the most stretchy edges. Once we had two rows, they were joined by the less stretchy edges. This takes a bit of time but again, watching a movie is a great way to go. The fabric is remarkably forgiving, so if you find your knots have caused the fabric to bunch up or if the knot spacing is uneven, gentle pulls and tugs around the knots will straighten it out fine.Lastly, Completion Time: Gave it on Christmas Day. Have spent about 4 hours total so far and we have a 3 square by 6 square piece completed. 5 more rows to tie then add to the whole and its looking like it'll wind up being a 12 or so hour project. Not to shabby, good things take time and its a wonderful way to spend time with my daughter.Overall, product arrived quickly and was as described though the pic on the box is somewhat misleading as to size. Solid 4⭐ product. Would give 5 if squares were larger and came with 60 or so, but then I would expect to pay more too. For the price and the "quality time" factor alone, this is great.

Thought this would be a great item for my 9 yr old daughter to do but i was wrong :( I ended up doing it myself spread over a few days -some 9 yr olds might be able to carefully knot hundreds of little fringe cut fabrics together ??? but not mine! I watched the online video and read all the little tips on the alex toys website,which i reccommend ...I wish some where had an estimated amount to time to complete but i didn't find it anywhere. We LOVE the bright colours,,but it took us awhile to decide on the pattern...the finished product is AMAZING i plan to order another kit to add on and make it larger!!

I first thought this would only be appropriate for children, but I then read a review from a reader that she bought 2 kits to make an adult size quilt. Well, I was up for the challenge. My sewing skills are not that great, but I knew I could tie knots. I laid out the squares and got to work. I laid out a nice pattern and got to knotting. It took me a little over a week and with a lot of encouragement, I made a beautiful adult size quilt. This quilt (which was made at the end of October) still stops people in their tracks and they ask me where I got it. I currently live in a nursing home and I make sure that I have something to do in order to keep myself busy. I intend to keep this where ever I end up next.I am 45 years old and I am proud to say this kit is not only for the young, but for the young at heart!
