But they were supposed to be big enough to tuck around their laps. A 36 x 36 would be about a lap napkin for me. :?

When my mom was making "lap quilts" as a charity project for nursing homes, they were approximately 36 x 45.

I think they were mainly to cover people's legs and laps when they were in wheelchairs. If they were too big, they got caught in the wheelchair wheels.
