I have never hand pieced a quilt of any size. I will be travelling in May (2 9 hour flights and many train rides) and thought a small hand piecing project could keep me occupied.

Please pass along a good beginner project idea. It will have to fit in a gallon ziplock bag. I cannot use scissors on the plane trips, but I can check a pair in my suitcase. I can use nail clippers to clip threads.

I am not looking to piece a large quilt, a cushion cover, wall hanging etc would be plenty bit and fit into my bag.

In the past I have taken counted cross stitch, but I find the lighting on planes is not adequate for that any more, or perhaps it is my aging eyes. Perhaps I could bring a book light.

I will be taking a rotary cutter or mat along. I will have to do all my cutting prior to leaving. I have looked at hexies, not discounted them yet, but it appears there is lots of prep for them. I have one day to get this organized, between my last day of exams, packing and leaving. I leave in 2 weeks.
