In our Lap Quilt Collection from We Like Quilting, you’ll find a wonderful assortment of projects, each with its own unique colors, techniques, and creative style.

Whether you’re searching for an easy throw quilt, a seasonal favorite, or a colorful weekend project, there’s something here for every quilter.

Home Is Where The Hygge Is Quilt

Cozy Up with the Home Is Where the Hygge Is Quilt

How about a project that makes a bold statement about the joys of home? Make our Home Is Where the Hygge Is Quilt. Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish and Norwegian word that celebrates the feeling of warmth, comfort, and coziness—everything a handmade quilt represents.

This quilt works beautifully as a decorative throw during the holiday season or as a colorful extra layer in your bedroom all winter long. Combining quilting with appliqué, you’ll love the cheerful oversized lettering, the bright snowflake, and the classic gingham check borders.

Brighten Your Sewing Room with a Jelly Roll Quilt

If you love playing with color, break out your brightest jelly rolls and make our Riverbend Jelly Roll Log Cabin Quilt.

Jelly roll precuts make building the log cabin blocks quick and enjoyable, while the zig-zag layout creates the look of a gently flowing river. It’s a fresh twist on a timeless quilt block that’s perfect for adding warmth and color to your home throughout the cooler months—or any time of year.

A Halloween Lap Quilt That’s More Treat Than Trick

Any time is a great time to put together a Halloween-themed quilt! Our In the Shadows Halloween Throw Quilt lets you showcase your favorite spooky prints in a stunning yet beginner-friendly design.

The clever shadow effect gives each square the illusion of floating, creating a quilt that’s playful without being overly complicated. Put this colorful, creepy lap quilt on your to-boo list!

Trip to the Moon Layer Cake Throw Quilt

Reach for the Stars with a Layer Cake Quilt

Another pattern that might have you looking forward to the next full moon is our Trip to the Moon Layer Cake Throw Quilt.

Create an eye-catching quilt using quarter-square triangles made from layer cake precuts and space-themed fabrics. Mixing light, medium, and dark prints creates depth and movement, helping you build your own private galaxy one block at a time.

Make a Bold Statement with a Modern Windmill Quilt

If you’re ready for a larger project, the decision could be as easy as black, white, and gray.

Our Between the Lines Windmill Quilt rewards careful piecing with a striking geometric design full of bold contrast. Because the windmill effect depends on accurate construction, it’s an excellent project for intermediate and experienced quilters looking for their next satisfying challenge.

FAQ

What size is a lap quilt?

A lap quilt typically measures between 36 x 48 inches and 54 x 72 inches, making it ideal for keeping warm while sitting without the extra bulk of a bed-sized quilt.

Are lap quilts good for beginners?

Yes! Many lap quilt patterns are beginner-friendly because they’re smaller, require less fabric, and can usually be completed more quickly than full-sized quilts.

What precuts work best for lap quilts?

Jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs, and fat quarters are all excellent choices. Precuts simplify fabric selection and speed up cutting and piecing.

Can lap quilts be used as home décor?

Absolutely. Lap quilts make beautiful throws for sofas, chairs, and beds while also adding warmth, texture, and seasonal color to your home.

What is the best fabric for a cozy lap quilt?

High-quality quilting cotton paired with cotton or cotton-blend batting creates a soft, durable lap quilt that’s comfortable year-round.
