My favorite part of this blanket is that it isn't too hot, yet baby is snug. It has lots of room, and will work for a good part of baby's first year.
I absolutely love the floral fabric. The pops of red and turquoise look so pretty. I found the fabric on clearance at fabric.com. They were closing out several lines of Westminster/Free Spirit fabrics. This particular one was designed by Verna Mosquera and is called Savon Bouquet.
If you want some other fun ideas for baby gifts, here are a few of my tutorials to try:

Always looking for great baby gifts. Thank you for posting this and what a wonderful blessing, a new niece!
What a cool idea...I swaddled my kids burrito style (they wanted to be swaddled until almost thirteen months)...and I am not sure how this would have worked for them but for lots of kids this would be perfect!!
Oh, I meant to say I love the fabric too!!
Such pretty fabric Chris. I'm on the hunt for some cute boy fabric for when this little comes in March...I'll check out fabric.com.
That fabric is to die for, Chris! Love it! I wish I knew about a pod swaddler about 10 months ago!
So pretty! My friends keep having boy babies. I can't wait to have another girl in the mix.
