Not quite what you are asking about, but my niece who was born in
Australia had a fleece. Not a fleece such as Malden Mills makes, but
the kind called sheepskin. She slept *on* her fleece rather than under
it. My sister-in-law swore that they could have put that fleece on the
edge of a cliff, and Morgan would have slept on the fleece, never
rolling off it or down the cliff. She did put it on a bed, and sure
enough, baby slept on the fleece, never going off of it.

When my preemie DD was born (4lbs. 7oz.), her Grandmother
and I spent the week she remained in the hospital making 18"
doll clothes and blankets for her, and tearing many of the
cloth diapers in half and hemming them. The blankets were
about 36"square IIRC. Later they were given to her older
sister to use for *her* doll. But don't knock yourself out,
the babies will only stay tiny for a short while, and Mom
will need regular-sized items soon.

Beverly & everyone else who has responded,
Thank you all so much for the input. My original idea, before posting,
was to make blankets maybe 20" square. My sister has already made a
number of 45" blankets which she says are wa-a-ay too big for now.
Everyone seems agreed that 20" is too small, so I think I'll go ahead
and make some 36" square blankets of flannel, which may be too large now
but it sounds like the girls are likely to quickly grow into them. When
they grow out of them, their mom can either use them for rags or donate
them.
After all the comments on the fleece, I'll just use the flannel for the
babies and the fleece I can always use for projects for myself or for
later after the girls are older.
