Are you good at embrodery, or needlework? Could you create individual cushion sized pieces that you could perhaps place a baking on? You could use them as wall hangings maybe?

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 )

oh I really like the wall hanging idea...great thinking

Sarah - its jsut for me babe.....how do you get pics on fabric????

[~Saram~]

If you give a few quilting shops around you a call they should have some fabric with paper backing you can put through a printer, I forget the name of it. they will either do it for you or you can buy the material and do it yourself. It is completely washable and you can sew over it and quilt over it, just looks like printed fabric!
