Future easy sewing project (DIY burp cloths)

Numerous people have told me not to get the cutesy burp cloths cause they just don't work well.  Supposedly the best absorbant cloths are the Gerber prefold 6-ply diapers, so I'm registering for a couple packs of those.  They are just plain white and nothing fancy...which is fine with me.  But then I saw this super cute idea on Etsy where fabric was sewn just on one side-- I thought it added a cute touch, but then still left the other side all absorbant and plain.  I think I'll get some cute fabrics and give this a whirl...assuming I have enough spare time between getting these and the baby!
