But if you take the words 'straight line quilting' loosely, you can gently curve that line randomly. Try keeping the quilting lines about 2 inches apart, alternate the direction and it can be a lot of fun. I have done several baby quilts this way and it is very forgiving. I think new quilters would love to doing this part. And a quilt of this size can be rolled tightly enough to fit into the harp of most machines.
But I am wondering why this specific size. Are these quilts meant to cover the kids' beds? If so, a twin sized quilt would be more around 70x90 inches. I don't understand what use 'lap quilts' would be for children.
