See, I'm making my own recieving blankets because the ones they sell now days are so small. They look more like burp rags than blankets that can be wrapped around a baby. I'm getting ready to make some for my 6 mo granddaughter and my newest great grandson since the weather is getting warmer and you need lighter ones. Some will be single layered fabric and others will be doubled for those chilly or wet days. I'm going to do squares using the width of the fabric as a guide since the kids are so young, I'm also embroidering their initials on them as well.
