2 more possible layouts

You don't have enough for the back. And probably 1-1/2 yards isn't enough for the top either. Probably more like a large baby quilt!

I'm going to put a 10" stripe down the middle of her backing. I think that will be enough. I purchased enough extra for her I can do more if I need to. And with the extra yard I got per fabric, I think it will be 62x70 or square. If a proper lap quilt is square. Is that an ok size for a lap quilt?

A lap quilt doesn't have to be square. I think 62x70 is a very nice size. I like the first layout best. You're really moving on this! And the fabrics are yummy.

They plan on quilting it tomorrow night. My daughter and I were going to go do that, meet some quilters and learn to quilt. Then I found out yesterday she didn't even have the tops made.....

Glad you were able to resolve the problem, and your fabrics are lovely. For what it is worth, I like the first layout the best.

In my opinion I don't think she gave you enough fabric, unless you do a rail fence. BUT - call her back and get more details, especially since she did this at the last minute and put you ion stress mode - definitely not fair. Call, then check out the other suggestions from your replies. Good luck.

You could do the pillow case method and eliminate the binding.

I would do it this way too, not just to eliminate the fabric being used for binding, but to reduce the amount of time put into the project - not muct of a timeline to get it done.

So how far along are you with this top? Anxious to see it!
