I also do the same thing. I am hung up on pinwheels. Different layouts, scrappy or not, but I love to make them. So now I am helping a neighborhood teenager make her first quilt. Guess which pattern she chose? Yep, pinwheels. She is an artist, has better color sense than me. I will post when we get it built.

I just found out about this pattern and LOVE it. It is sooooo variable. You can make as many squares as you want so it can be a wall hanging, big quilt or baby. I even had squares left over and made placemats. If you are stuck in a pattern, this is a good one to be it. Love your colors!!!!

Both of your quilts are beautiful. If you like making them, then go ahead. Pattern doesn't matter with the different colors. I have made 3 or 4 patterns at least a couple of times.
Most important thing is to make quilts and show us pics.

Sometimes I have too many quilt patterns I want to make, so I write the date I made the quilt that way I can try another one. I have to admit I don't think I have made more than one of any quilt pattern!

"If it feels good, do it!" as they said in the '60's. You are NOT in a rut. Artists often make long series (variations) of interpretations of one theme, experimenting and exploring possibilities.

Thanks for all the positive comments! I have spent part of today looking at patterns, and I have made no real decision for my next one. I've recently done a Trip around the World, D9P, Yellow Brick Road, and one really complicated artsy one....(other than the four Take 5's I just made!!) I am leaning towards a rail fence though, I think. I wasn't real happy with the last one I made...fabric selection is hard for me...so I might try that. Decisions, decisions....first I need to sandwich and quilt the last Take 5.
