Some from me.

Nothing like going to see your doctor (who is a delight) and finding that she is several months pregnant.  Well clearly, you need to make a quilt for the baby!  This is simply leftover waste corners from another quilt that I recently finished.  Throw it together, bind and drop off.  Received a lovely thank you note from her as well. 

Then, the day that you are returning from vacation your darling neighbors are moving to Amsterdam for at least a year.  Clearly they need something to remind them of their home in our neighborhood, so this is done to represent the colors of their house.  She's also the one who introduced me to ice dying, so all of the fabrics are dyed.
