    I like math. Ironing, not so fond of that and hubby can't stand the smell of starch.
    Your quilt is going to be beautiful. You must post a pic when its done.
    Hope i can master points like that some day!

    You like to quilt because you like to make things that are beautiful and useful. (At least that's why I quilt).

    Its a puzzle but, I love making quilts also. I guess I really don't think about anything being a negative about quilting. I hate to sew on a button.

    The math part is OK, but I hate ironing. So I say, "You are not ironing. You are pressing. Pressing is part of the sewing process". But what I really hate is cutting, especially the same size pieces over and over and over.
    I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

    You don't "iron" - you press the blocks. BIG DIFFERENCE.
    You don't "do math" - you simply figure out the size of pieces to cut from basic guidelines so you can have the perfect square. See, that was easy.

    Ditto. Don't mind the pressing but do hate the math so I go by the guidelines & get help if I need it. What I love is having the finished quilt. It makes me feel so good.
