Default Blanket?

Just curious if anyone has ever made blankets from their furs before? Im going to try and get enough pelts the winter to try and make one. Would love some tips.

I was thinking if i could come up with the beaver pleta id make the underside shaved beaver =) .... Main thing i havnt read anywhere is if i should shave fur between seam or just leave it. And how much of a bump in the blanket does it make? Might be uncomfy to lay on a think seam?

Default blanket

The best camp blanket I ever had was from a tanned Muskox. Man - o - Man
lay that thing down with a "good" arctic bag on top and it's good night Irene.
It took up alot of room on the sled but come night time it was well worth it.
The hair / fur was 4 > 6 inches thick!!!
