During the 70s energy crisis there were things called Snug Sacks. They were just quilts that had snaps all along the edges. I made them for all of us since I kept the house pretty chilly. They were better than Snuggies because your back didn't get cold when you got up. And they could be used as a cover if you wanted to. I made one for my DIL last Christmas and she loves it. The smaps are placed so that it came over the shoulder and made sleeves. I may have to make me a new one.!!

I thought of the same thing only didn't know how to discribe it. But yeah that would be the very thing!

It seems like a saw one in the Simplicity pattern book in the craft section. It may have been included in a pattern with other walker or wheelchair accessories. The nice part it didn't hang down. - just was like a little cape. There's no reason it couldn't be patchwork and quilted as long it was done with soft batting like flannel and not overquilted. I'd like one for me.
