Holiday quilting project

Well. Next Friday we fly off to Canada. (Calgary, Edmonton, Rockies, maybe Whitehorse). What to do?

I am still HQ my KS star medallion quilt. It is on a three pole frame and I am a little over 1/3 of the way across. Would it be feasible to baste the rest and take it to quilt on the plane? Obviously I would have to purchase a small hoop of some description. Then when I got home, I could roll it, basting and all, back onto the frame. But would the tension remain the same?

Otherwise, there is DD's bunny quilt that is ready for sashing and I could get that basted ready to take (much smaller) but I HAD thought to MQ that one, as it is applique. Each block is a different bunny (like a Sunbonnet Sue but much cuter imo) and needs echo quilting and in-the-ditch which I don't fancy by hand.

I suppose I could start something new, but not sure what to do next. I was going to try a whole-cloth quilt for our bedroom, but what if I fancy something in Canada?

Any suggestions to resolve this dilemma?

Really do forget to remember to take some with you . If you are going to be spending a few days here in Calgary , you have to hit The Fabric Cottage, they have a great staff, and wonderfull fabric's, the same for Freckle's its a slightly smaller store then the Fabric Cottage but ohhhhhhh the colors they have. But if you dont wish to do something fabricy There is always Heritage Park, some of the houses they have set up there , have some wonderful quits on the beds, incase you are wondering what Heritage Park is, its a historical park set in the turn of the century. I would have suggested to hit the Clagary Stampede but that is over this weekend. If you have any other questions about Calgary ( my home town ) let me know and I will help you out how ever I can.
