Abstract
Quilt for use in wheelchairs has a pouch for the feet of the wearer. The back comes up to the back of the knee area. The front fits over the knees and protects the lap. A drawstring tightens the pouch around the knees. An alternate construction splits the pouch into halves so the legs may be spread apart for the comfort of the user. Fasteners permit the halves to be secured together or, alternatively, to secure the front and back together to enclose the halves at the split.
