Great job on these lap quilts. Someday when I am in a rest home, I hope somebody as generous as you comes along with wonderful lap quilts. God Bless You.

Brenda, I don't have a name for this pattern but it is the easiest pattern I know to make because all of the pieces are the same size--2 1/2" x 6 1/2", so all the cutting is 2 1/2" WOF strips. 4 strips of fabric 'A' and 1 strip of fabric 'B' will make six blocks. I sew one WOF strip set together: A-B-A, then crosscut this 3-row set into 6 pieces 6 1/2" inches long. Then crosscut the remaining two A strips into twelve 6 1/2" pieces, sewing one to the top and bottom of each 3-row piece and you have a completed rectangle block that is finished size of 6"x10". Let me know if this doesn't make sense. I sew in vertical rows as I like to stagger the blocks so there are no seams to match!
