I like planning the quilt, colors etc and I also really like to fmq. Part that is a little frustrating getting it all sandwiched nicely.

It's hard to pick a favorite part. I think I would have to say the point after cutting fabric when I put pieces up on the design wall and begin to see how my idea is actually going to look.

I love designing and planning, and then hand sewing to finish the binding. Love the entire process, but the excitement of the beginning and the finish are extra sweet!

Planning first, piecing second. Lots of playing with fabric in-between one and two.

Hands down my favorite part is binding and then admiring the finished quilt! But I agree with SBG that squaring-up is definitely a great moment in the process

I like to cut fabric.

I also like to fold freshly washed fabric.

I'm going to say the piecing part is my favorite, too. I enjoy FMQing when I get in the groove, but I don't think I enjoy it as much as piecing.

I think buying fabric is it's own separate hobby. I enjoy that hobby too.

I like finding a pattern and buying or using from stash just the right fabrics and visualizing in my mind how it's going to look.
