A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
it adds some pretty color while things are still in the green phase, before the flowers bloom
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
There is always the rugs and baskets with the fabric coiled onto clothesline too.

placemats, small appliques, potholders, rice bags, hand warmers, CD pouches, hot mats for the table, dish draining mats, etc.
Anything that is bigger than 2", I make crumb fabric and made fabric. Bonnie Hunter has crumb ideas and Victoria Finlay Wolfe has made fabric quilts on her blog and her book, 15 minutes of Play, is all about it. I leave a basket of scraps on my treadle, and when I have a few minutes between things, I treadle some scraps. I use Bottom Line thread to piece these so there is not thread buildup on such small pieces. Or find a quilter like me who uses scraps.
If you or maybe a child has a wild imagination you can do this. Cut tiny shreds and over lay the piece with chiffon or netting. Then "draw" on the surface!

I make fabric bowls and baskets.
Sometimes I add them together to make different colors binding for one quilt as well....
take plenty of pic of family & friends, keep tabs on loved ones but make time for yourself !
Along with other listed ideas, I make 3.5" crumb blocks, use pieces to fill in a stuffed toy needing repair, and picture projects like Mary Katherine showed.
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
