This post has probably done about billion times in a billion different ways...but, hey!, why not another one??
This is probably the easiest, fastest and (could be) cheapest baby projects ever. You can make them all fancy if you really want to with ribbons and trims. But I mean...the kid is puking on them...I think functional is more important since you're going to be washing them every two seconds.
My supplies were a 1/8 yard of two different sale fabrics at walmart (a whopping $0.50 cents worth...) and a package of tri-fold diaper inserts. I'm pretty sure I could have found those cheaper, but at my Walmart selection is limited and they only sold packs of 10. Oh well...10 is a good amount.
All I did was cut each of my strips of fabric into three pieces (I think it was probably 42 inches wide and 1/8 of a yard wide) for the bottom of each towel. I had to straighten out my prints...they were cut a little crooked. I ironed the edges over and just did a top stitch across the edges to apply them to the diaper inserts. Aaand done! Yay! It took me about 2 hours to make all 10...I was distracted by other things during that time, so it probably wouldn't take that long.
My diaper bag has a Polka dot theme going on and I had made some little quilted pouches for the inside because the bag itself is lacking in pockets. I took the same fabrics I'd used for the pouches and used them for 3 of the towels that will go into the diaper bag. At least I'll look organized...I didn't want the cloths to come unfolded and go all over the diaper bag so I made a little 'belt' for them to keep them together.

I may add some 'E's or a little animal silhouette later to my burp cloths, but for now I'm satisfied with the outcome.
