I enjoy most all of the process. The part that bugs me is putting the blocks together. Usually my quilts are scrappy and when the blocks are all done, I have to audition them, pin them this way and that, etc. Decisions aren't my strong points. Sooo, therefore, I have several boxes or totes, etc. with blocks and the accompanying border fabric, etc. that have become UFOs and I get stuck at this point. Wish I could pass this along to a seamstress who would just sew them together for me. Love quilting up to this point and enjoy the quilting and binding because I can see the end product and often that is a surprise to me because I don't have the gift of being able to see the finished quilt until it is actually finished. My daughter is an artist and has that inate "vision" and the ability to "see" a finished painting in her mind. I never know exactly what mine will be until I actually sew it all together. Sometimes I'm thrilled and sometimes I am disappointed. Wish I had her gift!
