Receiving Blankets

I went to the JC Penney website, and checked out the various sizes of their baby blankets. The "newborn" blankets come as small as 12" x 12". There were a number of other blankets at 27" x 34"; and the christening /stroller blankets were about 40" x 40" (and more quilt-oriented).

Before my godson was born, I made up a number of quick-and-easy quilts, averaging 40" x 40", put them together with Hobbs Heirloom Cotton batting and machine-quilted them (so that they could be washed, and washed, and washed). Godson turns 8 on Monday - and he still has most of those blankets. Mom loved 'em - they were very versitile and completely washable (always useful with babys!).
