Well... here's a workaround..... quilts for "Moms" dont all have to be BEDSPREAD size.
Throw size... 40x50, 50x50, 50x60, 50x70, they all work. Make one, make two. make three or four or five. (One queensize BEDspread makes four of this size quilt already! ) She takes the extra care of the first quilt as she wants to have it forever...see how long having two, or three, or four, or five.....or more... see how long it takes before it seems like OK to have them folded on the foot of the bed. Folded on the couch. Folded on the armchair... where it can be whipped open and tossed on her lap or yours or someone visiting.... its a thought.
