thanks to all for your input. it never ceases to amaze me helpfulness and kindness the people on this board show. (I think some of my relatives and inlaws could take lessons!!! meow catty catty I know but I get so sick of people bickering over the stupidest things.) The hardest part is just making up my mind and doing it. Big hug and thanks to all.

I just found this pattern last week for a quick baby quilt, and then two more cut out for regular lap quilts. I embroidered the 16 1/2" center on both instead of a patterned fabric.
I think I have found another favorite pattern! Speedy Baby 2

These are all great pattern suggestions. (I've made notes :-)
To maximize the warmth of a lap throw (or any other size quilt), I highly recommend using fleece as the batting. While it's more expensive than other kinds of batting, it can (if you choose) eliminate the need for backing.
FWIW, using a coupon I can buy fleece at least a couple of times a year at my local "Mill End Textiles" for under $3/yard. While very few people want so much warmth, the elderly often do. I use it for their quilts.

What about making a quilt using the FUN & Done method? Once you have it sewed together it's done. http://www.ehow.com/how_6872295_do-f...-squares_.html
Let us know what you decide to do okay?
