My grandson just got his first apartment. Needless to say eveyone is excited ( including his parents ).
I have already made him a quilt for his bed but I told him I would make him a lap quilt for the couch when he is watching TV.
My question is, how big should it be?
Thanks for the help.

My mom made lap quilts for people in wheelchairs in a nursing home about 36 x 45. Apparently that was big enough to cover most people.Short enough to not get caught in the wheelchair wheels and large enough to protect the person's modesty.

My laps turn out at different sizes depending on the pattern. They all work out just fine. If its a 12 in block its usually 3 by 4 with sashing and border.
5 in charms 10 by 7 with sashing and a border.
