I have several of those patterns now so it's a great resource.

I also have several 5 yd patterns from other places, but those make a pretty generous sized lap quilt. These are large baby or average lap. Lots of uses for such things - even table covers, something to keep in the car - drape on a chair, toss at end of bed ....
