It isn't the time it takes to piece the quilt because I love doing hand quilting and that takes forever. I think it's just the process of sewing all the pieces together. My point is, we don't all have to like the same things to enjoy quilting. Just enjoy what you are doing and have fun.
I so agree, when I first started quilting again I found myself trying all the unique patterns and techniques on here. After a while some of it was more work than enjoyment. Now I've found the things that I enjoy most and only do those. I enjoy looking at all the modern and unique quilts, but I know that the only part I really enjoy is the hand quilting. Maybe I'll start doing whole cloth, then I won't have to punish myself with piecing? I think it really is to each his own. Which allows us all to benefit from oodles of different knowledge.
