Ha! Does buying fabric count?
I don't have a long arm, but I absolutely love the quilting step. To me, this is when it really starts to look and feel like a quilt, and starts to come together. I've had several projects that I think just look awful, but I sucked it up and finished them anyway, and lo and behold, once they are quilted, I love them! Design is a step I both love and loath. Generally, I'll change my design several times after making the first block. I've learned that I can't cut everything at once because if I do, I'll generally end up with a ufo or scraps I decide not to use for that project. I have to make about 3 blocks, one at a time before I'm satisfied and I can cut for the rest of the quilt.
I used to hate binding, but now that I've gotten better at it, I don't mind it. I get bored with cutting. There is so much to keep organized in terms of strips and pieces. If I'm making something that uses hsts, I'll usually cut two strip sets at a time and then cut, sew and press the hsts before I make another two strip sets. I just get bored cutting strips...
