All Hearts Lap Quilt

One of my customers was shopping for something for Valentine’s Day, something practical but still sweet enough for the February 14 lovers’ holiday.

We discussed several options including this one of a kind, All Hearts Lap Quilt which is big enough to cover two people sitting side by side.

If you look at standard lap quilts, which are 50”x60" inches, they cover one set of knees but not two. We take that into consideration when we make our custom handmade quilts and lap quilts, offering most of them in larger and custom sizes to accommodate their possible uses.

When we were discussing All Hearts Lap Quilt as a gift option, the customer came up with several ideas on how to personalize it. He could put family names in each heart with custom embroidery. He could put the names under each one of the unique embroidered hearts. Or he could collect favorite sayings and have those embroidered in some of the heart quilt blocks.

I also suggested he could add photos printed onto fabrics that could settle inside each of the hearts but he said his was a small family. In other words, not enough photos for all of the hearts.

I don’t know what option he is going to choose but it sounded like he had fun looking at his options. He was definitely “all heart.”
