    Default What Now? I'm at a loss...

    I don't have a quilt being pieced on the go. That never happens.
    Yes, I have quilts that need quilting, but nothing that needs piecing and I like to bounce back and forth.
    I'm thinking scrappy but I just can't seem to find a pattern that I'd like to do.
    Any ideas?

    That's when I go to pintrest and look around. Almost always, I will see a quilt that I had forgotten about. Sometimes I even take the drastic step of cleaning up and organizing my sewing room. Lots of UFO's pop up, so I make a list.

    Half square triangles maybe? Darks sewn to lights -- easy peasy, and there are so many varieties of settings. You could make quilts for years and never do the same setting twice.

    Have you seen this post from this afternoon? Do you know this block/pattern. It looks so inviting.

    Perhaps a pattern from Bonnie Hunter’s free pattern tab will appeal.

    I always end up back where I started. On point 12 inch or 9 inch blocks with sashing. I just keep changing the colors or the subject matter in the blocks. For the last lockdown I did two maple leaf, one greens and one fall colors.

    This avatar is the fall colors.

    When that happens to me I just do something else until I get inspired. I quilt for my own pleasure so there isn’t ever pressure on me. I like to do other things too.

    My go-to for in between projects is Arkansas Crossroads, it's a scrappy and uses up a lot of scraps! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bf/84...1cc7cce5f8.jpg
