Don't let the number of choices put you in gridlock. Pick one and run with it. It won't be the last quilt you'll be making and if it doesn't turn out to be a favorite then just make another one for yourself. Multiple quilts are a good thing.

I'm in a bit of a funk, and I don't know what to make next. I'm almost done with a baby quilt for my nephew and a table runner/placemat set for my mom. In the last 6 months, I've made 3 quilts to give to family members/friends, and then the other two mentioned above. I want to make something for myself, but I'm at a loss what to do. I've decided not to take on anymore give-away projects until I have a new quilt for my own bed, but now I can't decide what to do. I'm inspired by so many different options, but just can't pick one.
Help!
Help!

Make some little pin cushions for Christmas presents, or gifts for whatever. Good way to use up scraps. I make lots of them, and use leftover pieces of batting for filling instead of buying special ground walnut shells etc. although that would be nice too.

If you have several patterns that you really like and just can't choose between them, try writing the names on slips of paper and drawing one from a container. You will know by the way you feel when you read the name if it is the right one. A lift of happiness in your heart will tell you yes!! A tiny blip of disappointment will tell you no, not that one.
If it's no, set that slip aside and draw again. Keep drawing till you feel that yes! lift of happiness. If none of the slips bring it to you, then keep looking for more patterns until you have enough to do the process again!

Look up Missouri Star Quilt Company and check the tutorial on the quilt Sticks and Stones(one of Jenny's latest quilts).
I made one of various shads of blue and lime green and white for the background and small squares. You will have to see it to believe how beautiful it is! The white blocks make it pop! Good luck! Marilyn Only takes one jelly roll too!
