Thanks for all the measurements & ideas. This also makes me think I should google for measurements for a small lap blanket suitable for when she's in the wheelchair. I'm sure she HAS blankets, but not cheery, home-made-with-love ones![/QUOTE]
Suggestion for the wheelchair lap cover, sew Velcro loops onto the edge about at the middle to end on the sides so these can go around the arm rails and actually stay on her lap and not fall off or get caught in the wheels. I have made ones like this for my GF sons and fir our own DD, both who are in wheelchairs.
