This small quilt is the perfect legwarmer for someone who is in a wheelchair or who likes to be cozy while sitting in a chair. The finished size is 27” x 36”.
Any block pattern can be used, a basic nine patch, a star block or something appliquéd. Use your imagination. All blocks should be 9” finished (9 1/2” unfinished). You only need to make 10 blocks and 2 half square triangle blocks for the 2 corners.
Use prewashed 100% cotton fabric for the top, please use flannel or polar fleece for the backing as it helps to prevent the lap quilt from slipping off.
When you have pieced your blocks, sew them together in 3 rows of 3 blocks each, then sew the rows together, you will have a 27” square at this stage. To make the last row, sew the 2 half square triangles onto either side of the last remaining block, then sew the last row onto to the 27” square. Your top is now complete.
Cut batting and backing to fit, baste and then quilt as desired by hand or machine.
Bind the quilt.
These quilts are laundered quite often so please be sure they are well quilted as opposed to tying them.
