I know! Think of who you are going to make something for and what that would be. Perhaps a traveling set of cases for jewelry, cosmetics, or perhaps toiletries. How about a container for a quilter to take to class? Maybe a new mom bag. That usually helps me to get a wiggle on a project. To have a person or a reason to sew/make. Is there something you want to make for yourself?

Whenever I am in that state. I start organizing my sewing room. Almost always a UFO or some fabric collection will spark an idea. At least it is more fun than organizing my sewing room.

I personally hate making the same block over and over. I get so bored.

How about trying some improv piecing? Or crumb piecing? Or making blocks for a midnight garden quilt....basically blocks of any shape and size that are garden-ish themed made with scrappy dark navy or black fabrics. (https://www.instagram.com/explore/se...nightgardensal) I'm working on one now and LOVE finding the specific blocks I want to include and getting to play around with my scraps. Think flowers, bugs, birds, mushrooms, gnomes, etc. I'm making some "special" blocks to represent important people in my life. For example, a hummingbird (because my Mom loves them), a dragonfly (because my bff is obsessed with them), a bunny and squirrel because my soul dog loved chasing them, a rose to represent my husband of 27 years. The cool thing is it's your garden so anything goes. There are no rules but it's helped me stay grounded in that there is a general theme. I'm in a block swap and one of my partners is making a "bayou themed" garden so I made her blocks with lily pads and cattails.

I'll worry about how to piece them together when I feel like I'm ready to move on to something else. I don't even have a finished quilt size in mind. It will finish at whatever it finishes at.

OMG! This is so me! I hate organizing my sewing room. I had to completely redo it when we put new flooring upstairs. I'm now trying to keep it somewhat organizing just so I don't have to redo it.

Maybe organize your scraps and make a scrappy quilt. There are so many cool patterns for scrappies now.

I so love scrappies! My last few quilts have all been scrappies made from what I have on hand. They are so bright and happy!

I'm with aashley and others who suggested something small and quick - when I was stuck like that earlier this year, I made a few placemats for Meals on Wheels using orphan blocks and fabric I had on hand. It got some fabric out of stash and helped me get my mojo back.

When I'm looking for a new project, I look for something I've never done before and try it. I try not to use the same quilt pattern twice if I can help it also. So far I've done a quilt with tiny little pieces and a drunkard's path with curved piecing, both out of my comfort zone but now I'm not afraid of either type so I killed 2 birds with one stone sort of.

Just an idea to toss out there for something different. A memory quilt. I was shocked at how expensive fabric sheets for the printer cost now! So, I google searched how to make your own fabric sheets for pictures, etc., printed off the computer. This one is a REALLY good tutorial, with clear and precise instructions. 6 Techniques for Printing on Fabric at home-#saacibo
