Perhaps to ease the boredom you may want to consider doing a couple of the lap quilts with an alternate block? Maybe only half Sues and half something else? A double nine patch would make a lovely interlacing pattern between the Sues and make the project go quicker. Or you could do four Sues in the center and build out the quilt with different sampler blocks or blocks that when placed next to each other form another pattern all together to frame the Sues. That could also make each recipients lap quilt unique. Just a thought.
