Deadlines fast approaching

Here's the thing I don't understand - why do my friends always seem to get pregnant in batches?  I've got two girlfriends who are within a month or so of having their babies, and I have been putting off their quilts for ages, and am now up against a serious deadline or two.

So naturally, instead of making anything resembling real progress on either of their quilts, I find myself pulling out and finishing old ones that have been sitting out for months - like this green and lavender log cabin - which, while pretty, isn't really right for either of them

I guess part of the problem is a serious lack of motivation and inspiration.
One of them is having a boy ... and I cannot, for the life of me, find an attention-grabbing pattern or an inspirational fabric to get me on my way in that department.  I have another month or so for her though.

The real problem is with my other friend, Pria, who's been my close friend forever, but has never managed to get a quilt out of me, even though she's on her third baby.  As a result I have put all sorts of unnecessary pressure on myself to come up with something spectacular ... which has rendered me completely incapable of making a decision.  Her shower is tomorrow, and I have procrastinated myself into a pretty corner.

I'd started working on this:

It's the pastel baby-girl version of the spiral pattern I'd recently made in blue and yellow.  I don't know, maybe it's just that I've already done this one twice, but I'm just not feeling it.  I mean it's cute, but I feel like it needs a little something MORE.  She's an art teacher and LOVES color - so baby pinks and greens just feels inadequate somehow.

And then I remembered that I had THIS quilt top hidden away:

But the more I look at it, the less appropriate it feels for a BABY.  It seems a little bold, a little sophisticated for a nursery.  And while I'm sure that Pria would drool over it, I'm afraid it might just be too much.

So there you go ... on the one hand, I want something MORE, and on the other I've got something that's TOO MUCH, and the only thing I have finished is a completely unrelated and irrelevant side quilt.  But one way or another, something has to be done by the shower tomorrow night.  I am not showing up without SOMETHING in my hand.  lol - I guess I'm going to be busy tomorrow.
