When I am in a quilt slump...I pull out my scraps and make totally mindless scrappys. The funny thing is that everyone loves them and says they are the best. I found that they looked ugly until all sewn and FMQ'd than they look AWESOME. Right now I am into 2 inch postage stamps (I am using white 2 inch squares this time next to the color fabric...but not even thinking of what is going where...except no color fabric touch) - doing them at the same time as other quilts. I do find I spend extra time on them since they are for fun and I do 30 pieces in a row so my goal is always to finish that row. I made 6 rows yesterday while making another quilt top. I love doing two quilts at a time and find it really does not slow down the process.
