I read all the time about lap quilts. What I have been thinking about lately is something more like a quilt shawl that one could wrap around themselves when they lay down or while they are sitting or walking around.
It would need to be more rectangular than square, I would think. And probably lined with something soft and warm. Perhaps flannel or fleece?
I just keep thinking that if one is not confined to a sitting position, a shawl-like quilt would be more adaptable in the long run.
What are your thoughts on this everyone?

This might sound crazy, but what about adapting a tree skirt pattern? You could change the keyhole center to a large teardrop shape that blended out to the outer skirt edge... Clear as mud right? Maybe leave out a wedge/gore to cut down on excess fabric hanging around bottom...
Just a thought.

might be nice to put on a couple of big pockets as well to carry some of those things that we chilly people need..tissues, a book, cell phone, etc. just a rectangle on each side of the front opening would work - if you put them inside the wrap, the wearer could put their hands in the pockets and keep the wrap closed at the same time.
