Whenever I get stuck, I just start something new! :) Seriously, maybe you could just put together a pile of lights and a pile of darks, then just choose one from each and start sewing them together in a simple pattern or start a string quilt or an old fashioned patchwork. There's lots of tutorials here on the Quilting Board. Lots of luck, I went through the same thing a few years ago when my best quilting buddy died. You will get back to it when you hit some inspiration.
