Default A solution for quilting burnout

I've been a bit burnt on quilt-making lately. I've had the same quilt on my design wall for MONTHS now, and making almost no progress. I sort of lost the spark, I guess.

A coworker recently asked me to help her learn how to make quilts, and we've been working on her first quilt together. Interestingly, it's made me a lot more interested in working on my own quilts, and has re-inspired me to try new things and finish the things I have started and has gotten me back to doodling ideas.

So if you're having burn-out, find a student! It's so much fun to see everything "new" and fresh again through their eyes and will help you remember why you fell in love with the hobby in the first place. (And you can also unload some extra fabric and "stuff" on them and make you both very happy!)
