I am with Charisma, I don't like borders...but I hate binding too! I don't like hand work, so getting those bindings finished is a bugger! I love choosing the fabrics and pattern, cutting is all right is small doses, putting the top together is fun - love seeing if it will come out the way it looks in my head, but the quilting is my favorite part, but that's only because of my Innova 18!
