I first wrote a very few about this saying that it was an amazing product and it really is but after my first washing the stitching around the border started coming apart OK by the time it was done drying I had about 4 feet of thread flopping around . I Do not think it is going to have a big effect on the blanket but I Do not know how long before the rest of the stitching comes apart so I feel that it is still a nice blanket but I guess you could say cheaply made .
