Default Whch quilting jobs would you give to your quilting fairy?

If I could have a quilting fairy to help me out I would definitely give them the job of cutting my fabric for quilting! Which job would you give to your quilty fairy if you had one?

Basting the quilt! It kills me every time! Although it is slightly easier now I do it on a table instead of the floor, I still have to take loooads of breaks to get the job done!

Squaring up my blocks. I pretty much suck at it - not for the lack of trying! I have spent hours and watching videos and reading books. I just get all confused as soon as I put ruler to fabric. So yeah, squaring my blocks would be it.

This one is easy! My quilting fairy can do all the borders! Oh, how I wish I had a quilting fairy.

binding probably. Either that or cutting... Can the fairy do both? LOL

Sandwiching before quilting.

Too funny! I love designing and cutting and don't mind piecing, squaring, borders, basting, or binding at all. What I'd gladly hand off (and often do) is the actual quilting. Everything else, for me, is pure pleasure. Sounds like we should start a quilting cooperative!

I am so lucky to have THREE quilting fairies. I seem to only enjoy the cutting and the piecing of charity quilts. Fairies do exist out there. One does the quilting of my charity quilts, another does the binding and another is helping me with sewing the pillowcases. Friends have ask me why I just don't buy a pillowcase but I want it to match the quilt. I am quickly catching up with lots of UFOs that are finally going to be finding new happy homes.

Sandwiching up the quilts for me too is a chore. I have lots of tops, waiting to be sandwiched.
