Newby needs advise
I have a new great nephew coming in August so I want to make him a few blankets. The two I have already made were just done with blanket binding and stitching on the edge. I have 2 coordinating pieces of flannel that are 1 1/4 yards. I think I remember reading some where that some were using a sheet in between each piece and then doing quilting because of not wanting the blanket to be so heavy. Was thinking of cuting into 6-8 in squares then placing sheet in between then quilt with some really simple stitch since I only have a regular sewing machine. I would appreciate some advice.

If you want a light blanket I would just use the 2 layers of flannel w/o the sheet in between. The other thing you could do is to make a rag quilt w/the squares and make X's across each block to quilt it.

I would make receiving blankets. Cut the 2 pieces of flannel WOF and the same length as the WOF so you have 2 squares. Round the corners using a plate. Envelope them together. Turn right side up and top stitch around the edges. Without anything in between they don't really need quilted. But if you wanted you could just sew a big X through them. If you wanted them a little fancier large rick rack could be put in the edge seams or use a fancy stitch when you top stitch.
