Is it for you or the the kidlets?

Some ideas

cushions/pillows
mini quilts (postcard size) that can be displayed in photo frames.
lap quilts and baby quilts or wall hangings don't have to be that big, you might do something a4 size to put in a photoframe.
I have just finished a family tree quilt for my MIL that has photos of all her kids plus an appliqued family tree on it with all their names which didn't tkae all that long (as in actual time on the quilt - time spent procrastinating about the quilt does not count )
