    I should probably rephrase that to a lap quilt to be used in a wheel chair. shouldn't be too big but just not sure.

    We do 45x45. Flannel backing keeps it from slipping.

    I saw one in a magazine somewhere that had ties attached so it could be tied at the back of the person's neck so it wouldn't slip. Keeps both upper and lower body warm.

    I made one with a separating zipper. The person using it, can sit on it, zippered up it keeps him/her warmer.

    What size do you consider King size? Or is there an average size?
