I've made a couple dozen of these. They are so easy and adorable!
Take a look at the MSQC self binding receiving blanket:

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.
