I have and enjoy a large stash. One of the things I enjoy about my on-line quilting connections is getting a lot of inspiration. I have QuiltPro and love designing new quilts, sometimes beginning from traditional blocks that interest me. That said, many quilters reach periods when nothing really grabs their interest. What we say in my guild is, "Don't force yourself, come back to it later." This just about always works. Sometimes one member of the group will have a new idea (or buy a new pattern) and a lot of new quilts follow. This site and many others have great ideas for getting started. I rarely run out of interest in quilting, but sometimes I just don't want a major project. That's when I go to making lap quilts for shut-ins and quilts for kids in out of home placement. Right now I have a bum shoulder. While it heals I am going slightly batty and am designing 2-5 quilts a day. ARGH!
