Friday1961

When I first began quiltmaking, I loved cutting. I had been sewing for donkey's years, but it was mostly clothesmaking, and I had never used a rotary cutter. So I enjoyed the preciseness of it. And, I think, it delayed the actual sewing of a block, which I was apprehensive about.

Now, some years later, I almost hate cutting. It bores me and sometimes frustrates me. What I want now is to get to the sewing.

And to add to the title of this thread, here are other things I'd cheerfully never do again while quiltmaking:

1. Square up blocks .... ugh!

2. Make the quilt sandwich. I hate this part.

3. Decide upon, measure, and sew borders....mainly because it's boring.

4. Clean up my mess after all is done.

Oddly, I don't mind the binding, which some people hate.

So, what are your "I'd never do it again if I had a choice" quiltmaking chores?
