Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone piece/quilt with other quilters who "just want to get another quilt done"? I enjoy piecing and sometimes I do need to get a quilt done in a crunched timeframe but....have you ever had the issue of sewing with someone who doesn't seem to enjoy the journey just the finished project? Don't get me wrong, I love a good quick and easy quilt but I do not like to "mass produce"...I enjoy the entire process from picking fabric to the binding and labeling the label. Your thoughts?
i love the process, as well. however, when our charity group needs to get 'er done, i enjoy seeing it come together so fast with the help of so many hands.

Too bad you are not closer so that we can quilt together. I really enjoy the whole process. Although, i have to say that if somebody is extremely slow dwelling on a shade of gray thread for two hours i can get a bit antsy. The only thing I really try to rush are the chores so that I can go back to quilting.
So when are we meeting up? At least you aren't 1000's of miles away... I really enjoy the whole the whole process of making quilts. I am making four of the same quilts for my staff. It is over a year in the making. They are QAYG, and since I'm getting tortured trying to put the first together, I'm getting frustrated. I put mine together, and will be taking it apart, ASAP.. Forget about the chores. Things can rot if I'm in quilt mode..Originally Posted by Tashana
If I were in a hurry I'd buy a $10.00 blanket. Quilting is my passion, not my job and I enjoy each step equally. Well...perhaps not the cutting
But I don't care what anyone else does.
I enjoy mostly all the process, too, but sometimes on a big quilt, I can get a little bored with the 500 HSTs or whatever, and just want to get it done. Plus, sewing fast doesn't mean I don't like to sew - I love it - I just don't see the need to drag it out. If I was only allowed to ever make one quilt in my lifetime, I might slow down and savor every minute step, but luckliy, there are always new projects to be done! I have a friend who has to endlessly audition fabrics and threads and patterns till I'm about ready to scream! Does that mean she likes to quilt more than me? Nope! I can just get more done than she does!
Ditto to this one
Freedom is costly and quilting keeps us busy...
I enjoy even cutting ! I only make bedspreads and wall hangings and am considering handpiecing a king size.If I were in a hurry I'd buy a $10.00 blanket. Quilting is my passion, not my job and I enjoy each step equally. Well...perhaps not the cutting

let's get together, lol! my fibromyalgia makes the cutting part and the basting part painful, or otherwise I would enjoy those too! however, I don't hate them at all...just the pain, oy! I get a feeling of accomplishment from every step I finish until it's all finished, and then I get to share!I enjoy even cutting !

It is a blessing, to be a blessing!
