Quilting Fabric. You'll need two squares of fabric that are the exact same size. You can use any sized fabric you want, but these three sizes work best for a baby blanket or quilt.
Seriously speaking, I am not exaggerating. Down throw blankets are widely known as the most comfortable and warmest blankets in the world. It works best during winter. It is lightweight and cushy.
