I recently saw a pattern in recent Quilt Maker I believe, or Quilter's World. It was a wall hanging and had an applique Christmas tree on it composed of ornaments. Now, I think it would be easy to make it a lap size quilt of the pattern by adding more rows of the ornaments increasing by one or two ornaments as you go down to the bottom of the tree. I think it would be fun to find all sorts of scraps for the ornaments. The pattern used wool, but you don't have to do that.
