AQS no longer stands for American Quilters Society, it's now a recognized medical/mental dissorder--Acute Quiltitis Syndrome. (everything is a 'syndrome' these days) There is no cure because no one wants one. However there are some home remedies to help elleviate the overwhelming urges.
You're welcome to try some of these

1. Always keep a box of chocolates across the room from your sewing machine. Get up, walk across the floor and eat one now and then.

2. Go shopping for fabric.

3. Peruse magazines and books for new, exciting quilt patterns to place on your "to do" list.

4. Join a quilting group so that you feel comfortable with your addiction.

5. Buy a composition book with graph paper and sketch out your designs.

6. Go to the local Man Cave stores such as Menards, Harbor Freight, Lowes, Home Depot and see how many things you can find that you can use in quilting.

Any or all of these things will help when the spouse says, "Have you done anything besides quilt today?" You'll be able to honestly answer with a resounding, "YES, I have."

I looked at my bathroom tile long enough and finally had to make a quilt. There now I have that one out of my system. My daughter just laughs at me because she sees a stamping design for cards in everything so she can relate. We just look at each other and know what we're thinking. She must have "stampitis".

I think this is the sign of a creative and artistic mind that is always observing the environment and synthesizing what it sees into new forms.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-)
