I used to make the 'lapghans' (lap sized quilts or afghans) but then the nursing home asked if I could make shoulder wraps instead as the lapghans continually fell to the floor and got caught up in the wheelchair spokes. Most residents stated that their shoulders were always so cold -maybe others could work this into their projects also.

It's the best I could come up with for a pattern, a little hard to follow in my opinion, but a pattern I guess. But I'd love to see one sisLH as well! They sound a little quicker than a quilt.
Oops! forgot the link! But I found a better one instead

Last year my dear uncle was in a facility for alzheimer's patients (hate the word nursing home) and i was determined to make him a lap quilt. He passed away before i got it done so at christmas i made a flannel rag quilt and took it over on christmas eve to the center. they were so thrilled to have it. made me feel good to do something. i told my mother i would try to make one every year to give to them. but i really like the idea of the shawl for around the shoulder - definitely will try to do this one! thanks for the link and idea

I noticed many of the young men amputees at the VA hospital where I take my son,have towels around there shoulders.Now I know why. Something maybe with navy emblems and backed in fleece. It would not need batting and not much quilting. There are many fabrics with military insignia on them. They all seem to wear their branch. My sons have lots of Navy towels tees, etc. DH is Marine Corp all the way, my Dad was Army. I think I will try to whip up a few. Thanks for the idea.
