When my grandchildren were born I made them flannel blankets out of squares of flannel, with a little batting and flannel on the back. I didn't call them quilts at the time. Then when my children moved into their new homes I made each of them a blanket (quilt?) out of flannel with fleece on the other side and hand tied together. My neighbor got me into place mats and table covers quilted.
