Thanks for any and all ideas...

I make a pieced flannel crib quilt for each baby and get an extra yard of a couple of the fabrics for burp clothes. I cut the extra like fat quarters. Envelope 2 different prints together. turn them right side out and stitch close to the edge and then again about 2 inches in from the edge using a decorative stitch. They're always the hit of the baby shower.

I find a nice used towel, like at Goodwill, wash it, then cut it up. I put the toweling on one side and flannel on the other. No quilting in between, just top-stiching or zig-zag around the edges. They look great and are easy to make!

QUICK & EASY! Clipping step is quickly done while enjoying a TV program that does not require you to look at the screen constantly or just enjoying music. Mothers of babies love these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
