Average size for lap quilt

I was wondering what is the average size for a lap quilt? Any ideas? Thank you, Jane

Hullo Jane I'm not going to say it depends on the size of the lap. LOL But, it does depend on what it is going to be used for. If it is for someone sitting in a chair (or a wheel chair) they do not need to be as large as if someone wants a quilt to cuddle on the couch under. The former could be 36" square (a small one) or up to 48". For the couch cuddler, it could be almost the size of a single bed quilt? It probably should be rectangular, rather than square, for that purpose.

I usually try to make the front no wider than the width of the backing fabric. I hate to have a seam in the back for just a few inches more on the front. Lazy, I guess?
