You may just need to take a break.
I don't ever find myself tired of quilting, I am finding it very depressing not being able to purchase the fabric I would like. I love bright colors and would love to make some donation quilts with them, but I simply have no money.
Oh, well...One day at a time.

Yes, every spring. Gardening and canning season hit and I'm so busy the though of quilting is a bit overwhelming. I still quilt (longarm) for others, but I don't do much sewing for myself until fall hits again. Then I'm at it nonstop until next spring!

Take a break. Put your stuff away for awhile.
I knit, crochet and scrapbook in addition to quilting. I burnt out on the scrapbooking. I put it away for a year. Still not edge back, so I'm going to finish the two trip books and then pare down my collection of stuff. The thing is, sometimes you lose interest because, well, you have lost interest. Most of the time, you just need your mojo back.
Keep in mind that sometimes depression can affect your whole life including interest in hobbies. Without meds, the average person takes 1-2 years to get out of a depressive funk.

Not burned out but maybe distracted for awhile. Then it is "Get out of my way, I am going to quilt, NOW" LOL
If you get tired of doing quilts, give yourself a break. One day you will get to wanting to start again. Not to worry.
