When I have a quilter's block,I go in the fabric room and look at the fabrics and run my hands over them.That alone will get me thinking about the quilt that I can make with that fabric.Or I will pick a print focus fabric out and lay it on the table,and then I start pulling out colors that will go with it.The patterns don't do it for me. The fabric will yank me out of my quilting funk every time.
