The log cabin quilt is pretty big for a lap but maybe you can leave the border off or make it very narrow.
Yes, any pattern in patriotic colors but I also like this pattern and have made it.

If you browse through you can also find the alternative layout using log cabin blocks only incase you do not like or have a center panel.
Note the last picture is a drunkards patch block made with Patriotic prints.
More true colors. Note Army pillow panel as center.
