Do you need to wash fleece before making a blanket?

Lay down the solid piece of fleece with the softest side facing the floor. On a side note, don’t wash your fleece before you begin – I did that the first time I ever made one of these and it didn’t turn out well. Wash it when you’re finished! Then lay down the printed fleece with the softest side up.
