A Lap Quilt Saves You Money!

Combat Chills
At present it’s warm & sunny, the sun is shining, the days are long and we’re all enjoying the weather.
Rising Fuel Bills
The papers are telling us that our fuels bills are going to rise enormously, but at the moment that all seems a long way off!
From Cold to Cozy
But it won’t be long before the nights are noticeably drawing in, there’ll be a nip in the air and we’ll all start feeling chilly. Rather than going straight to the heating controls, you could make yourself ( and other family members) a lap quilt like this one!
A Lovely Lap Quilt
When you’re sitting down in the evening, whether on the computer, watching t.v., sewing or reading, you can just drape it over you. It’s wonderfully light and it will save you from having to turn your heating on too early. When the temperatures drop again, you can use your lap quilt to keep you warm, so that you can keep your thermostat down, and so save on your future fuel bills!!
Simple Skills
You only need basic sewing skills to make this quilt as it only has 3 blocks, a nine patch block, a square in a block and a daisy block , as you can see from this picture.
I chose to make this quilt in fresh spring colours, but if you choose fabric that matches or co-ordinates with your living room, it would look lovely draped on the back of your sofa!
I have patterns to make this quilt on my website!
Happy sewing
It would be interesting to know details
Hi Faiza,
Can you tell us exactly what you need to know?
We’re more than happy to advise.
