I am also finding it a bit tougher when not making them for presents. I am now making them for my husband and I . I try and pick a theme...(this time spring material with bird houses) during the beginning of the week...then thinking/searching for a pattern...something fairly easy....during the week, Friday cut them up and Sat or Sunday spend the day sewing. The following weekend FMQ,,,,I try start and finish a quilt within three days...that gives me a goal. I also signed up for a class that will begin in March. I have my pattern picked out for me...and they helped me pick out the colors...
