I have made many of these shaped like a giant peanut using flannel for the outside fabrics and cotton batting in the middle. Topstitch all three layers together approx. 5/8" from edge of fabric. Trim batting close to seamline. Then clip the flannel layers about 1/4" apart. When washed, you get a ruffly look. Be sure and sew across the middle of burp cloth to secure fabric layers. QUICK & EASY! Clipping step is quickly done while enjoying a TV program that does not require you to look at the screen constantly or just enjoying music. Mothers of babies love these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
