Verna, I read a quilt book and get really excited..what a list of "I want to make that one next" I have...Do you have a friend to sew with? That helps, too. Wish you were here...I would sew with you. I know your Dresden Plate is going to be beautiful...it is one of my very favorites...just sew a little on it today or get it out and look at what you have already done..that should inspire you!
