Placemats sewn together would be a great complimentary "lap robe" for someone in a wheelchair! They could sew their own or be involved in choosing the color or design that would match their clothing, as an accessory to other items they wear! The placemats are inexpensive enough and usually thick to be warm enough that a person could have as many lap robes as they want to go with different sets of clothing!

What fun!

Sorry it took me so long to reply I just now saw your post! A lap robe is a small coverlet that people in wheelchairs sometimes use. I really didn't mean to leave you dangling.

Just now reading this email. Your idea is sweet. They are prequilted, lightweight, warm, all-season, colorful, and easy to connect. I hope my mother will not have to use a wheelchair, but I'll keep this in mind should she need one. Or, if I find a lot of the cotton/poly mats on a drastic sale when I have a few extra dollars, I will consider this for a nice gift. I'll also consider cutting them into "quilt squares/shapes" and connecting with ribbon I already have, sewing with a fancy stitch. Good idea!

God bless you. : )
