Fifty years ago when my first child was born, a friend made me a couple of blankets (not flannel) they were my favorite. It was April and with the warm weather they were perfect. No where could I hae bought any better and I still remember it. I made blankets for my grands and they became attached to them more than the store bought, it just seems like they know they hae love in them. I make quilts now and they love them. Make a quilt and I bet the baby will take to it. The store bought quilts are stiff and bulky, I bet she doesn't really use it to wrap the baby.
