Like many others, I enjoy all phases of the process, from drawing my sketches, choosing fabrics, and even doing the math. Once I have my plan, I also enjoy deciding which method will get the piecing done the fastest and most efficiently use my time. Then I take FOREVER to decide how I want to quilt it. I love doing the binding, because it means I am done. While I have been heard to say, "Finishing is over-rated," I also believe "Finished is better than perfect." It just depends which frame of mind I am in that day. While I have been quilting long enough that my points match more often than not, and my seams are mostly consistent, I don't expect to ever be perfect, and fully subscribe to the 'galloping horse' concept.
Long story short, I quilt the way I want to, and hope everyone else does it his own way, too. If you don't enjoy the journey, why go on the trip?
