Different---but people seem to love them. Google "Owie the owl." It's a cute little owl that is stuffed with rice and heated or frozen to put on aches and pains. You can also stuff with polyester for cute little bean bags or tours.

^ Changing pad. It calls for "pre-quilted flannel", but I did regular flannel with batting in the center. Instead of Velcro (I ran out), you can make easy little ties that you sew into the binding & it rolls up nicely and then can be tied. It's always been a huge hit with new parents or grandparents!

I took a look around http://www.wowilikethat.com and she has a lot of cute small projects. The "mug" mug rugs are quick and easy with a bit of ribbon for the handles. Click on the Quilting tab and then on My Quilting Projects and the Mug Rugs are at the bottom.

This would work great for placemats, too, if you used 4 across x 3 down w/the 2" border. I know Meals on Wheels likes theirs to be 12x18".

Check some of the blogs - Sew Mama Sew is a good one. Also, check out the Craftsy patterns. They have a lot of free ones.

The checkerboard squares are 4 " and the border around that is a 2 inch border. These went together quickly. Maybe it is an idea that could be helpful?
