My favorite part is piecing because I think that is where the creativity is. I have never sent my quilts elsewhere to be done and never will even though I am much better at piecing than quilting and really all I have for it is a domestic home sewing machine. I would rather all of them were 100 percent made by me rather than perfect and someone else did the quilting. Sorry to offend anyone, but I think the only people that really notice quilting stitches are other quilters. Everyone sees the piecing.
