Welcome to the Quilting Board!
... as I stood at the board pressing 140 squares for a pinwheel quilt: I have always hated ironing, and hated math. So why do I love quilting?
We can all come to love anything ... if we see the rewards at the end of the work!
Ironing clothes ... ick!
Pressing quilt squares is instant gratification in seeing the pieces sitting perfect. And a step to an end product we treasure!

Don't you just hate that moment when you realize that your teachers were right having told you that "Yes you WILL use math in the real world?" :-)
I hate ironing too - the worse part of quilting. I have 10 tops ready to be backed. They are sitting there because I have to iron the backing and the tops!!!! My excuse the last few days is that it is too warm to iron!! (70 degrees!!).
If life gives you lemons, make a margarita.
You love quilting because you have a natural creative talent that you can't ignore, and it outweighs your hatred of ironing and math! Making quilts is a creative thing and satisfies your natural instincts to create, in spite of that gosh awful math and ironing!
I, like you hate ironing and math but love quilting. I think it is because for me it is a release and artistic outlet. I'm not overly artistic but can this and appreciate how pretty a quilt top can look when all those little pieces of fabric are joined together. The math an the ironing just make it look right.

I feel the same way.
What ever Piepatch said, I second that. My quest to create overwhelms my dreaded, spitting iron. Math I don't mind so much.
The one who dies with the most fabric wins.

It is a blessing, to be a blessing

What is a little ironing when you can turn cut up pieces of fabric into something so beautiful.
