Custom Patches for Blankets
Custom patch blankets for camps, troops and keepsakes — embroidered patches sized for wool and fleece, sew-on backing, no minimum, shipped in 10 business days.
A patch blanket is a record rather than a garment. Camps, troops and families build them over years, one badge per trip, and the finished thing is usually kept long after the people on it have grown up. That changes what matters in the design. Blankets are wool or heavy fleece, so weight is not a constraint and patches can run larger than they would on clothing, commonly 3 to 4 inches. What does matter is that badges from different years sit together without clashing, so a consistent shape or a shared border colour across a series pays off more than any single clever design. Attachment is always sewing: iron-on adhesive does not bond reliably to loose wool pile or fleece, and the heat needed to try will melt synthetic fibres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you iron a patch onto a fleece blanket?
No, and it is worth being firm about this one. Iron-on adhesive needs a flat, tightly woven surface to grip, and it cannot key into wool pile or fleece. Worse, synthetic fleece melts at the temperature the adhesive needs. Patches on blankets should always be sewn, by hand or machine, around the full border.
What size patch suits a blanket?
3 to 4 inches for most badges. A blanket carries weight that clothing cannot, so there is no reason to go small, and these are usually viewed from across a room or laid out flat rather than worn. If the blanket is a collection built over several years, pick one size and shape early and keep to it — the set reads better than any individual badge.
What makes a good series of blanket patches?
Consistency. Blankets accumulate badges over years from different designers and different orders, and the ones that look intentional share something deliberate: a common border colour, a repeated shape, or the year always in the same position. Decide that convention before the first patch rather than trying to retrofit it at badge nine.
