Lap quilt in plaid and dark green


 I made this lap quilt for my Dad.  He was moved to extend care this week and they are getting him up and out of bed into a wheel chair for his meals.  My sister indicated that he could use a small quilt for his lap when he is in the wheel chair.  I made it 37" x 39" which was along the lines for what the recommendations online for a lap quilt for a wheel chair.  The plaid is flannel which was recovered from a large pillow sham and the botton is brushed cotton in a dark green.  I used a light weight cotton as a batting inside.  I laid them out on  top of each other right sides together and then the cotton batting.  I stitched all the way around leaving an opening to turn it over. Once pressed, I stitched all the way around the edge and then added a few rows of stitching following the plaid design to keep all the layers together.  I am sure it will do the job nicely.  Therese
