Hello All--I'm new to the forum but have thoroughly enjoyed all the tips and help that you ladies give. I have a daughter who works in Neo-Natal unit at the local hospital and she says they like the fleece blankets to put under the preemies for warmth. No tying--and about a yd. square. About all you would have to add is a binding if you want. Be sure to wash before you donate although they will probably be rewashed and sanitised.
