    They are really cute. Where did you get the rose fabric? I have been looking for some of that.

    Really cute!!!! Love coordinated stuff for babies. Actually I make 36x36 receiving blankets out of flanne for shower giftsl I take 1 yd of 45" flannel and cut off extra to make square. I then just turn under edge 2 times and sew. You could serge or stitch fancy if you want. This is a great size for babies. the ones you buy are too small for any baby except newborns. There are really pretty flannel prints out there. these blankets hold up just as good as bought ones. My DD have been using them thru 3 kids. Faded yes but not falling apart. I usually give 6 blankets for shower gift and now family is looking foward to getting them. Buy fabric on sale at Joann's and it is cheap gift. Also the left over strip can be used to make quits, burb cloths etc.

    They do make great gifts. There are tons of wonderful flannels now that have great designs on them. I would rather have homemade stuff than the store bought anyways. It lasts longer. The quality of store bought keeps going down. I still have all the homemade gifts from my kids. I will keep them for them and give them to each when they move out. I'm glad I knew a few people that made gifts :).
