We have a prayer blanket ministry at our Church. We use a 1 yard piece of cotton fabric and 1 yard piece of flannel. Pre wash!! Sew the two pieces together wrong sides together. Thne turn right sides out and sew along the edges. Our minister blesses them before we make them available to those that need them. We don't use batting at all. Folks appreciate the symbolism and the prayers that are included with the blankets.
