Making preemie quilts for the local hospitals is good therapy for the blahs....they go together so fast, because they're so small. Only about 16" square max, or if oblong 16" x 13 maybe. Those babies are so tiny! And I minimally quilt them, grid or X or wavy lines, and I use the "pillow turn" method, so they don't even need to be bound. It's surprisingly gratifying to use fabric you never thought would be suitable for anything! Bright, bold colors for backs, any kind of kid oriented print for front, and it doesn't even need to be pieced.....some smaller pieces can be bordered in a coordinate color to reach the 14-16" size.
Believe me, they're fun and recieved with gratitude in the preemie ward!

I think sometimes we just need to rest .I would sit down with some quilting books and just visit with them I will bet after looking at quilting pictures something will pop out that you have always wanted to do particularly something you put off and pretty soon you will have at least 3 items you just have to make. This works for me.

What kicks me out of granny gear???? A NEW PATTERN !!!! Either that or a trip to the shop for my machine, and then I can't sew. Drives me crazy that I CAN"T sew. Auntie B from Saskatchewan (rhymes with Scratch -N-Win)
