ran across this one today.
simple and quick to make.
good use of scraps.
excellent for anyone who sits up in bed while reading, watching tv or doing
the daily crossword. :)
might be cute as a shoulder cover with a matching lap quilt.
just thunk'n outloud here,

That looks like a great Christmas gift idea for some of our DMIL or other
elderly relatives and friends. Made in manly colours it would also do for
gentlemen.
Thanks Jeanne,

That's neat.
I think I would be tempted to use a 16" square and two 16" by 32-ish"
rectangles of each fabric to eliminate the seam that would otherwise lie
down the wearer's spine. I know feeling that would irritate me no end
if I leant back against it.
You could also use a contrasting fabric for the square.

hi Lizzy,
there are heaps of ways to vary the basic idea.
its really just another way to do a poncho, albeit open rather than closed.
i also thot maybe include a wee loop of fabric and a button somewhere to
hold up one side so it drapes across your chest. i'm sure there'd be some
neat way to do that so it looks like part of the design. hmmmm, thunk'n
outloud here again....several buttons/loops? hmmmmm.
like i said, just thunk'n again.

where ya been, Elly?
you've been missing around here lately.
yup, thats just what i was thinking too.
any fabrics, any colours, any designs, use up orphaned blocks, play with new
blocks, do
some applique. personalize each one or just generalize them.
makes little difference as long as they keep someone warm, eh.
i'm think'n something like thin pellon and lining, then quilt it of course,
lol.
