Now in Winter, my son-in-law gets quite cold when he sits on his recliner (cream colored leather) so he's been folding the lap-quilt I made him last year for his birthday to sit on it.... Of course to cover his legs, he now uses my daughter's lap quilt.... It was imperial that I make him something nice and warm to sit on instead and voilą, a "seating mat" with a double layer of wadding. I called it "The Sitting Star"
