Hello,
As some of you know, I am the "Queen of Procrastination," aka the "Empress
of UFOs." I need some ideas for a lap size hug quilt. I need something
that will be easy to piece and quilt. However, since I'm not particularly
good at MQing unless the block size is relatively small, I will need to
employ the quilt as you go method. Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,
- dlm. in central MA

The ragged quilt is quick and fun. It can be done in triangles or
squares.

I like the strata quilts, some call them noodles you can quilt as you
go also,One of everyone's favorites is just plain old scrap 4,5, 6"
squares sewn together randomly, only wide enough to fit a backing
(40-45: wide) for a lap quilt or make four panels, quick turn and
tie.....we make lots of these and plenty of people are thrilled with
the fluffy softness of them, you could get fancy and do an adult I
spy ....or a friend does lots of these, ahe picks a fabric, for large
square,8" or so then does strips of cordinating color around ala log
cabin...voila`....interesting but not incredibly time consuming....
