I know some people love them and some hate them, but I unfortunately don't know anyone with some to try out. I'm thinking of ordering a 4-pack from Amazon, but the patterns I like at 44"x44", and I feel like everyone says the 47"x47" is the best.
Without paying an arm and a leg - where could I get the bigger ones for a better price?

I got mine from target, but I was told that the ones at target arent as soft as the ones you buy on amazon. I still love the ones I have and even bought an extra pack. I think they are the 47 x 47 but not 100% sure

I bought a set off babysteals.com. I've seen them on sale a few more times since buying them.

@mrs. bird: I had registered for the "oh girl!" and the ones with the zoo animals, I think.

nordstrom has them on sale right now as part of the anniversary sale promo! they are $32.90 instead of $50 for the 47"x47" size (i know the website lists them at 44", but i ordered them and the box says 47"). don't forget to grab some cashback while you're at it... if you need a referral, feel free to ping me.

it looks like the 'oh girl' has a plain, a striped, stars, and polka dots. this one isn't exactly the same- but super close! stars, stripes, polka dots and their little emblem, they're the 47" ones and they're $38 vs the $35 for the smaller ones you were looking at:

I definitely prefer the 47x47 but I bought them full price on the A&A website when they offered free shipping.

@sorrycharlie: i had to change the link, it was taking you to the jungle jams one for some reason =/ i'm looking at the 'star light' set. the link should be better now =)

@mrs. bird: so adorable. Think I'm being a bad planner by getting girly when next baby could be a boy? Haha

I got mine at Amazon... I didn't really have a preference for the print, so I just bought the cheapest 47x47 design (I think they were around $35).

@sorrycharlie: I found baby cakes on albee baby for a pretty good price:)

The only thing is you don't get free shipping unless it's over $99 - boo....

I just got some from Nordstrom as part of the sale. It's a good deal and free shipping.
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
@jholler25: agh those are adorable!
I'm debating the nordstrom ones now..they're gender neutral, but just to make sure I'm not reading the website incorrectly, it's just the one set of 4 that's part of the sale right?

We have the smaller ones and I just got them from Target. They are great. A local boutique has the larger ones but for me, it wasn't worth the extra money. I have 8 of the ones from Target (a neutral set and a pink set).

I got the 4 pack of the larger ones off gilt for $50. I think I got ripped off!

Ditto--watch for them on babysteals! I got a set of four 47x47 for under $30 after shipping and handling.

I just grabbed a set at BRU (44x44) for 27 with a coupon, and a gift card, so I'll start with those - they seemed pretty soft to me! I'm debating grabbing the nordstrom ones as well before they end the sale.. but idk if I'll need 8. $60+ seems like a lot to spend on blankets!
the only thing that stinks about baby steals is how much shipping runs me...I'm not sure if it's because I'm far away from their company, but it always ends up a fortune

UGH I was planning on ordering the Nordstrom exclusive ones during the sale (I love the patterns) and when I went to the site this morning they were GONE. CRAP!!! 
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
@mrs. wagon: OMG. I totally just ordered them yesterday- skin of my teeth! I was thinking about going back today and ordering more...DANG!
I saw in the reviews where several other people said they are the bigger ones and not the size Nordstrom has listed...I hope that's the case for the ones that show up at my door.
I have definitely seen A&A at Nordstrom rack if anyone has one near them. I just didn't know at the time what it really was:)
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
@jholler25: I hope they are the 47x47 too!!
So uh Wagon Sr. just found the LAST set available (in the country, maybe?!?) by calling our local Nordstrom, having them look it up in their database, then ordering it from the store it was available at and having them ship it to us, free shipping.
YAY!!!

@mrs. wagon: Whoop Whoop! Excellent work, Wagon Sr!!! Way to help a girl out!!!

@sorrycharlie: there's one 4 pk of girl print blankets on nobetterdeal for $20 right now! Haha, thought of you if you still want another pack 
there's only 1 so it'll prob sell quick
http://www.nobetterdeal.com/shop/en/nbd/-b002sw3ax2--1
Edit to add: even if it says 'unavailable', it's usually just in someone's cart & will pop up in a little but if they don't end up buying it. I think they only give you like 15 mins to hold something in your cart before they release it

We got our Nordstrom blankets the other day and they are the larger 47 x 47. Love them!! We got A&A blankets from
Target and they were fine when he was little but The bigger ones are a must now.

Ditto to @Krsmall...Mine came in today and are 47X47. Yay for someone at Nordstrom making a big fat typo!!!
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
