    Having just finished a rather large sampler quilt I feel that I have become quilted out. How do you suggest that I get my motivation back to start a new project?

    A quick, small and simple project for "instant" gratification!

    I pull out my patterns and start looking at fabric. That usually gets me pumped for a new project.

    ROFL. I just pull out my quilt magazines and see something I like and it's off to quilting again. So many projects, sew little time. Have fun.

    Just give yourself a rest. Sooner or later, your quilting mojo will return, begging you to take it back. "Baby, it'll be different this time, I promise." :D

    A visit to a quilt shop that you don't get to very often might work.

    Rejuvinate by hugging your stash. Something will probably hug you back.

    I get inspired by going to a guild meeting or a quilt show and seeing all those wonderful quilts other people have made.

    Go out and take a break from it, the beautiful colors of springtime will probably get you going again! Have fun!
