What kind of blankets should every nursery have?

What is the best size for a baby blanket?

There are several different sizes of baby blanket. A crib size blanket should be ~30″ x 46″. A receiving blanket is 20″ x 20″. But honestly the sizes of diy baby blankets are really a personal preference. Some people like to have a larger blanket that their little one will grow into.
