I love picking out a pattern, and going to the store to pick out the fabric. I don't know how many times I've gone with one color theme in mind and come home with something totally different. Washing and drying the fabric is something I don't like. I do love cutting, piecing and sewin top together. I send it out to be quilted because I don't like to FMQ on a large quilt. (Hope to some day have a long arm) Then I love to bind it, by sewing onto the front, turn to the back and hand sewing it.
