If I'm working on a quit pattern that I have done before and find trouble working on it, I put it away for a day or so and then come back to it, usually after I have worked on a few other projects in between. I love making 9-patch blocks with a snowball block inbetween for easy baby quilt gifts. I find it to be a no-brainer quilt that I can do again and again - I get results quickly and I get to take time away from a "problem" quilt. I have lost count of how many I have made. I also make a lot of table runners and find myself leaning towards the Jacob's Ladder quilt block, it makes an attractive table runner, it's easy to put together, very little thinking and I come up with a beautiful table runner, especially when I switch fabrics around for a different design element.
