How about a rag quilt? Different colors, instead of an "X" to hold all three layers, use letters or shapes! It's a tactile, warm quilt!

I've made a couple dozen of these. They are so easy and adorable!

I've done the self binding receiving blankets.
Also had a customer that handed me 2 2yd pieces of cotton and asked me to just fold it over with bat in middle and FMQ and she planned to add satin binding.

My DD has three children and she loved the thinner flannel blankets to quilts with batting. One yard flannel front and back, longarm panto, and serged around. I make three for each baby..they are easy to use and wash and dry often. Her babies were born in cold weather so flannel worked..then it gets very soft.

Yes, I have made (literally) dozens for DD, DDIL and friends. I buy 2 45" lengths of different flannels, wash them, iron, measure them and square them up so they match the smallest measurement (my ladies prefer the blankets square). I then put them right sides together, fold them in 1/4's and round the corners, then stitch around the edges (1/2" seam), leaving an opening so I can turn it right sides out (birth it), trim the rounded corners with pinking shears. Iron the birthed top, folding in the seam allowance for the opening. I then top stitch about 1/8' from the edge, closing the opening and do whatever quilting I feel like doing in the middle. When I get in the zone, if the flannel is washed and ironed I can make several in an hour.

Love that video I might make a few

Thanks for all the help that everyone gave on this project!

Oh I would use minky on the back of a flannel quilt for a baby! They love the feel of minky!
