A good friend has asked me to make a quick quilt for her mother who has to undergo dialysis. I'm told the room is very cold and taking a large blanket is difficult. I would like to make a lap quilt but I'm not sure of the correct size. It will have a bright, cheerful quilt top with fleece on the back. That should be good for warmth. Also, I will try to make a fleece carrier for the lapquilt which could be opened up and used around the shoulders. Can you give me help with sizes?

A shawl and a lap quilt would work nice. I would make lap quilts according to the size of the individuals lap :wink: Measure from their waist to their feet, while they are sitting down. Then measure across their abdomen and add a few inches to either side so they can tuck it in a bit :D:D:D

My dear Mom went to diaylsis for 16 years, my Dad made sure that every person that came there had their own quilt, they weren't fancy, mostly pieced polar fleece, but so nice, he still makes quilts and gives out even takes a load of ladies to the quilt guild. He is 87 yrs young....And a 28 yr Navy veteran..and a retired college prof that taught in the jails in North Carolina...
Sorry I got carried away..That will really be a comfort to the person undergoing the treatment. It is so cold wiith the blood being filtered...
