What size to make Receiving Blankets?
I'm making receiving blankets for my soon to be born GGD. What size do you recommend? My DIL said the 30X30 size that are generally sold are too small. I made one so far , it's 40X40, and it looks a little big to me. This is before washing and I do expect some shrinkage. What size would be most useful? Also how many does a mother need? I bought a bolt of flannel but can buy more if needed. I know nothing about this as my children were all adopted as older kids. Thanks, Mary

I buy 1 1/4 yds of flannel, square it without the selvages, round corners, serge with wooly nylon. I have made "tons" of these throughout the years, and have never had a mom that did not like the big size. They love them.
