Wanted to see if I could track down where this fabric came from. Haven’t been able to find much outside of a single Etsy listing for a similar piece of fabric. I believe I’ve had it since before 2005 if that helps.

That sounds like a fun challenge!

That's interesting, the Etsy listing is slightly different. Wonder why they made two so similar. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1684821547/flannel-piece-monkies-dogs-planescars?ref=elp_anchor_listing&frs=1

Yep that’s the Etsy listing I was able to dig up, I found it kinda strange that there was one that’s so similar.

Your blanket is really cute! I always find it endearing when people I dated had a stuffed animal or a blanket they slept with. It was always a good sign that they didn't just repress things and have a totally bare bedroom.

One of the green flags, honestly, when I started dating my now-spouse.

Unfortunately I've never come across that fabric, but good luck!
