looking for lap robe patterns for the Vets.

My guild makes a ton of 36" quilts for the local hospital NICUs. Using the quick and easy D9P helps crank them out. We use just a single block (starting from nine 13" squares) for the entire quilt and they're cute as can be. If we need a little larger quilt, either 4 or 6 of the D9P blocks are easy to create a quilt of almost any size, just by adjusting the size of the starting 9-Patch. And for additional pizazz, when first assembling the 9-Patch we can add an interesting sashing between the squares to get an extra dollup of excitement!
If they don't want batting, how are the quilts...quilted?? Could a layer of flannel be acceptable?

I do that, too. We don't always need a warm quilt here. I often make blankets this way (no batting). They may not want the bulk of batting when washing in an institutional setting (if that's where they end up). Happy sewing! That's a good cause you're helping.

They are in McKinney Texas. That is why no batting. It only got cold there for about one week when I lived there...lol! They just don't need to be kept warm, just decently covered for being in the halls. Think southern coverlet.
