When I don't know what to do. I think about it untill I get inspired. That usually takes about a day or two. If I'm not really into it I have problems finishing it and I don't like a bunch of projects not done. Too much wast of time if I don't finish.

I have a list of all the projects I want to do and the quilting for other people. I start my list every January, as I finish things, I cross them off the list - very gratifying. also, as new things come in, it is added to the bottom of the list. Clients get preference of course, but every time I do something for someone else, I do something for me!

I send my DH into the sewing room to pick a bag and that's the one I do!
peace :D

Been fretting about this all day. Went to work for my 4 hr shift thinking it would help. Nope. Still dont know what to start. Do I choose a color first? A pattern from one of many 3 ring binders? A book I haven't sewn from yet? A prepackaged pattern in one of the bags from the LQS? An inspirational pic that's on the internet? Should I do something scrappy or theme quilt? Large? Small? Purse?

If only someone would say.."Oh I like this. Make this next!"

Maybe just get a long cold drink and start from there.

Sorry. No help from me.

Tell ya what. You help me and I'll help you. OK?

Ok made my decision. Have a pack of layer cakes. Newest book is twist and turn and a pattern uses layer cakes. Have backgroud fab to use with it. So I'm done.

Hopefully my success will rub off on you guys!

Good luck!

yay... good luck... and enjoy every moment !

sometime I have a certain fabric I want to use, So I get out that fabric. Measure. Then look at the patterns, and make sure you have enough of that fabric to use by the different patterns you have. pick out 2 or 3 patterns. go do something else for an hour or so. Go back , look at the patterns again. This time they may look different. Don't stress so much. If you can't deside today, wait untill tomorrow.
