If I go with 3 x 4 setting it will be approximately 16 1/2" x 21". Do you think that is a good size??? Should I make it a 4 x4 setting to be 21" square or go bigger with a 4 x 5 setting to be 21" x 26"ish???
I think your sizes sound OK, but I kind of question the raggy part. I think it would be better for a baby to have the seams emclosed so there will be no extra threads hanging about for him to inhale. I just remember my brother getting brochitis from inhaling a fabric scrap from a blanket when he was a baby. What a nice idea, the snuggly!
