45 x 60 is what is called "crib" size when buying batting. Works well for me. It's way too big for a newborn, but folds quite nicely for a smaller pallet for a play surface or nap time space.
BTW, any type of blanket is discourage for youngsters nowaday. Bundle kid up in a heavier sleeper and no blankets.
