I stitch for Newborns in Need and have quite a challenge going for me. Blessedly, I have two bolts of very nice flannel. Wonder what's the Nicest and quickest way to turn them into sturdy receiving blankets? The selvedges must be removed because they're more tightly woven ( or something). Next, I'm thinking, would be to clip them into yard lengths -
36" x 45" for each blanket would be generous but not too big. After that, I guess I'll wash, dry, press and hem. Any thoughts on how to attack a mountain of flannel? There's a lot of wee ones who need swaddling. Polly- posted
