I've been making quilts for over 30 years and have often gone into a "no quilting" phase. Sometimes I just run out of the creative juices but that doesn't generally last too long. I hadn't made a quilt in almost a year, then made 6 in about 6 weeks. Once I get going, I remember how much I love sitting at the sewing machine. Right now I'm making bucket hats for all the gals in my water aerobics class (great way to use scraps).
I have downsized my stash cause so much of the older fabrics no longer fit my style sense. Luckily I have many quilting friends and they are always eager to help me downsize. It helps to get rid of that "Wonder" fabric (wonder why I ever bought it).
