Default quilt using old house dresses ???

A dear friends mom passed away a few years ago and she asked if I would make 4 lap quilts from her mom's house dresses.. There the old cotton dresses that women would wear a while back..I really don't mind making them but am having a hard time trying to decide what pattern to use. I didn't want to make just a block quilt, I wanted to do something a little different, even if I have to use some other fabric in the quilts for the back ground. She gave me 9 dresses and a few nightgowns which I will have to use some fusible interfacing on them as they are finer fabric then the dresses. This is do able so not worried about that but just need a pattern to show case the dress fabric.

anyone have any suggestions for a pattern for these lap quilts.

Also what is a good size for a lap quilt.. Thanks ladies
