Making the most of a small window

I seem to work best in fits and starts.
Today I had a couple of hours and put the borders on this,
bringing it up to 40 inches square.

On the weekend, I found this picnic tablecloth at the thrift store.
The print seemed familiar, and now I realize it's similar to the fabric
in the star points and corners.

I took five minutes to finish the binding on these potholders I strip-pieced a week or so ago
from batik scraps from my mother,
and backed and bound with that oldie but goodie landscape fabric below

which also yielded six  postcards.
And all this in only a couple of hours.
I even cleared off my sewing table and tidied my sewing space!
But I can't find my sewing shears or my favourite 6 by 12 inch ruler.
Anyone seen them?

Love your top with the stars! Bright, cheery and a great way to use crumb blocks! Funny how that tablecloth matches your work. Are you going to use it for the back?

Wow, you're smokin' busy! Great work. That landscape fabric looks good cut up for postcards!
