Default Self Biniding Baby Blanket

(We did embroider a cute little lion in the corner since it was a baby being born during late July/early August.) Does anyone have any personal experience with them? Do they need more quilting? In the one she taught me does not use any batting, just 2 pieces of flannel.
I have made MANY of these baby blankets with only a fancy zig-zag around the binding edge. My daughter says that have washed up absolutely GREAT---been handed down for 4 boys now so have had many washings. I have made many as gifts also....no problem after washing.
