It still surprises me that my favorite part is the one I said, as a new quilter, I'd never do - the hand quilting. Even those times when it's just outline stitching, it's enjoyable and totally relaxing.
Least favorite - making the "sandwich" because I don't have the right space to do it.

Buying fabrics.
Oodling and playing around making a design. (Or not. Just having fun playing...)
Auditioning fabrics.
Changing stuff around at every step as I make the quilt.
Seeing how it takes shape. Agonising over stuff that isn't working the way I envisioned it - what to do, what to do...
Unfolding a project I've put away for a while because I was no longer liking it... and finding it's beautiful after all.
Stitching down binding, racing myself (excited, impatient now) along the final straight edge to the FINISH! line. :thumbup:
Yay! Done. That's one of my favorite moments, too.

Hey, I just found my least fasvorite thing. Reading the pattern wrong. I've made this pattern several times, and I guess I thought I knew everything about it. LOL on me. I know your not suppose to cut after 9 o'clock at night, but this was 9 A.M. Oh, well live and learn.
