Recieving blankets

recently one of Melissa's friends was having a baby shower. she is having a little girl. so I made a couple of receiving blankets. they turned out soooo pretty. Here's how I make them. I take 1 1/4 yard of washed flannel. cut off the selvages and square up. fold up the edges 1/4 inch and sew. fold up the edges one more time 1/4 inch and sew again. they are nice and big and last for a very long time. the kiddos at 3 years old still are using them!

enjoy......
