Yeah, another man quilter! Good luck Don. My partner is about your size and you are correct, a regular size lap quilt just don't cut it. Us big guys need big quilts. I made him foe Christmas a full size quilt for him to use as a lap quilt. One of these days ill get some pictures taken.

my first quilt was going to be a lap size log cabin for my son. it somehow grew into a queen size quilt because i wanted him to be able to cover up while watching tv on his couch. it just kept growing and growing and growing. . . .

Whittle's is not too far from Bowling Green, KY, home of Western Kentucky University! I love Whittle's. They do have a website, but their fabric is even less expensive when you visit in person! I live in Owensboro, about 75 miles from Whittle's-an easy day trip!
