This is more about comfort than survival, so I'm posting over here.

I'm looking around for a decent travel blanket, made of fleece, especially for overnight airplane flights, with a carrying case, that isn't overly expensive. Any suggestions?

I found a great one at a TJ Maxx made by Columbia. It is very warm and has a pouch for $12.99.

I have a small quilt with a pocket on one end. It folds up into the pocket for storage, but I can also put my feet in it to keep it in place. This would work well on an airplane.

I also have a couple of small fleece blankets with company logos that were gifts from two different employers, so they must be cheap. One came with straps to hold it in a small roll.

If I had to guess, I'd say all three are stuffed into a closet.

LOVE your handle. It describes me to a "t."

If you want something really cheap, go into a fabric store. They sell the fleece by the yard. They even have some nice camo patterns, along with almost any other pattern that you can think of. Get one of the nice ladies who work there to cut you a couple of yards. Once it is cut, you do not even need to sew it. Just use...

And you can scrounge for a zippered pouch to put it in.
