You might want to leave it the same size, which seems to me to be a perfect first cuddle up in quilt.
Maybe the mother is complaining so loudly because she can not afford the fabric and a future fabric stash might be an idea to consider?

I will not change the pattern because I would then have to change it for the rest of the class, which isnt' fair to me or the girls that have all ready purchased fabric. I realize now that this lap quilt will be a bit big and the next group it will be sized down a bit, I'm learning too. I just didn't like the way I felt after reading this email and wanted to make sure my math and thinking were on the same path.
Happy Quilting
