I love all parts of it, although sometimes the repetition will get to me. For instance, I love all the parts of getting a quilt going, picking out the design and fabrics, and even the cutting isn't bad because it's varied. But then the patterns will say, "make 32 of these pieces", and ye gads, by the time I'm coming up on 28, I am so sick of make that one piece! That's why I avoid quilts all made out of the same blocks. I like variety. Same with quilting. Boring is doing an entire quilt with SITD. Interesting is doing some outlines and echoes, filling in some areas with meanderings, using stencils to put interesting vines or other motifs along the borders. I'm not "fluent" with FMQ, but I'm making progress, always "pushing the envelope" on what I can do. What I really love about quilting is that there is always a new skill to learn, a way to push yourself to grow in your craft, something more to aspire to --- my goals are constantly being pushed down the road!
