A few ideas would be to crochet squares in 3 colors.  Size depends on what you want to do or how many squares you want to make. Just remember the square will be in multiples of 9 and for a baby blanket you want the blanket to be about 36 X 36.

For instance you could make 12-inch squares. You would only need 9 of these squares to make a 36 X 36-inch square baby quilt. Or if you want to make 6-inch squares you would need 18 of these.

(a)   Sew together and add a border and you are set to go.
