I can relate to your losing your quilting desire. For the past 2.5 years, I have been in such back pain that I could not sit to sew. I had always thought I could work through the pain, but I found out I could not. Fortunately, a new Dr. found a medication for me that has mitigated my pain and I am looking forward to quilting again in 2 weeks. I have 7 tops to complete before I leave this (almost 80 YO) world and so I need to get going.
