I don't like hand sewing the binding, so I usually machine sew it. It doesn't look as nice, but it's a lot more fun. I'm also not crazy about cutting batting off the roll to fit the quilt. Other than that I like every part - cutting, piecing, ironing, putting it on the frame, quilting, trimming, and binding (until I get to the hand sewing part). I think I like every step because with every step I can see such huge progress!
