I'm working on a Grandmothers Flower Garden right now and love it! I divide my time between here and my daughters so I'm always on the go. Plus I kind of like the idea that it will all be hand pieced since I haven't done that in ages! I'm thinking my next project will be with hexagons too! Maybe some different arranging tho.

It's been suggested already, check out www.paperpieces.com for an English paper piecing project that is very portable. I'm currently doing dresden plate; I've done tumbling blocks and small hexagons. It's an excellent company from which to order. Sign up for their mailing list and there's a new special every week.

Well with the change in flying rules. Most of the handwork has been baned from flights. No scissors, pins, needles, clippers, knit needles (and maybe crochet needles).
So always take a book. graph paper.
I work construction, and find myself sitting on site a lot. So take small projects. Crochet, knitting, embroidery, or pieces to pin, or cut.
Have also done flower-pens. Attaching flowers to pens. Even sold a few dozen to one dispatcher who kept losing all her pens. Ha ha ha
