Sometimes I just need to sit down with a new pattern and I can get very motivted to then finish it....well at least the piecing for I still not crazy about the quilting part. Working with bright coolors is also helpful. I think it is the fatigue I get fibrmyalgia that slows me down and makes it more difficult to always be ready to quilt. I am thankful that I can still sew for I know life without sewing would be bad.
