What is your most fun part of making a quilt?
What is the most fun part of making a quilt for you? For me, it is when I get enough of the design on my design wall to know that I "think" I am going to like the results.
And I just got to that spot with this quilt. Let me show you.....fun, fun, fun!
I have been dragging my feet on this quilt, but now I have reached the fun part.

I don't think I've ever thought of what is the most fun for me while making a quilt. I enjoy most phases. I really enjoy hand sewing on the binding on the back of every quilt though. I think why is because it keeps me warm while it signifies the completion of a quilt for a loved one. A quilt that will, hopefully, keep them warm in more ways than one.

I like making the blocks. Each one can be a challenge to make a perfect size, with perfect colors. I love pressing, then starching the block. I could press it for hours, pet it, and mount it on the design wall with a sigh that it is completed. Ahh....but then on to the next block.

I love all aspects of it. I fall in love with a pattern, then the fabrics. Then the process.
But I do love cutting fabric. Scary and thrilling all at the same time!
I'm sharing a pic of the quilt (or part of it) I made for my DD and her hubby....looks similar to what you are doing!

For me it starts with the "vision". I always see it in my minds eye, then work to make it turn out the way I saw it! Usually it morphs several times before I finish, and that is the fun part. Evolving, and changing it and figuring out when enough is enough!

it really depends. i'm doing an EPP 60 degree 2" diamond quilt, aqua stars with white between. I love all of it so far. i'm making a baby quilt too, and every part of it is fun to me. I love when it's done, and i'm off for another one.
