The one on the left was Julian&#8217;s baby blanket. The other 3 were made by my husband&#8217;s grandmother (I think) who I never met. They are doll blankets- one is a rectangle, 2 are squares. The smallest one, on top, is about 16&#8243; square. I always loved the old ones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/grannysquares.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2960\" title=\"grannysquares\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/grannysquares.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"449\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And lastly, out came an old vest of mine.
