Tartan is right. There are people in nursing homes that can't walk and require a wheel chair, so a smaller size is appropriate for that. Perhaps 36 x 46 at most. For lap quilts, I don't like anything less than 50 x 60 myself, but that is just my personal opinion. I tend to make my lap quilts on the larger size. Usually around 60 x 70. That's a nice "throw over" size for your bed or the couch.
