I've made dozens of blankies for babies. Just two yards of flannel RST and turned. That's 36 X 42. My nieces just rave about them, how nice they are to use. Two of the grandsons still have theirs at age 15 and 18. For the more recent ones, I bought just a little more fabric than one yard of each and made a pillow to go with the blanket. Seems more like a gift when it becomes a "set".
