My youngest ... loves the double flannel receiving blanket that is just stitched around the edges and corner to corner. I would probably go with something super easy like that or the panel that several others have suggested. I don't have much patience for folks that are full of gimme's. I received a quilt for my first, my mom gave me the materials for the second baby and I made quilts for the next four ... don't feel obligated if your heart isn't in it. She is bringing them into this world and can figure out blankies if that is what they need.
