Those 36" x 36" quilts are absolutely the perfect size as lap robes for those in wheelchairs. My mother was purchasing receiving blankets for my wheelchair bound father. I wanted something a bit more masculine and dignified. Plaids and solids, small quilts were perfect. Even made a few out of wool suitings. This was my entree in to the world of quilting. I still make that size and take them over to a local care home.
