Which is disliked more by you?
 
Got to thinking while working on my latest quilt what I hated more...squaring up blocks, or dusting furniture. Dusting and ironing were always my job growing up.....can't remember what my sister did. Spent the afternoon squaring up about 228 small blocks before I could join them together. Hate squaring up blocks for some reason!! Now mind you, I always square up my blocks, but can't figure out why if I cut them right why everything still has to be squared up.
So what part of quilting and household chores do you dislike??

Sandwiching and definitely dusting!!! Oh and mopping floors runs a close second :)

Beyond a shadow of a doubt - sandwiching and dusting. There are no close seconds.

Borders! I hate borders. And I must not like dusting very much either, from the looks of my house.

I do not like binding a quilt (though sandwiching isn't high on my list either). I do find glue helps both.

As to cleaning - I finally hired a service. It took me a year to tell my mom. : )

Best money ever spent! It is worth every single dollar.

I don't like any cutting out the original pieces or mopping floors, or I should say my back doesn't. I like sewing it all together, really don't mind squaring up or sandwiching, because by then I'm almost through. Altho, that's bad on my back too. I really Like mopping but always down with my back for days afterwards. I guess I'm like you, I hate to dust. Dust and cut out the original pieces.

Ironing. I really dislike ironing but I feel it is an important part of my process and helps to give me precise results. I don't mind pressing seams so much, it is the prewashing and ironing large pieces. Yesterday I prewashed and prepared for storage quite a few small pieces, it wasn't so bad. Hubby was doing something in the next room, he had music on, and it was a pleasant way to spend the hour or so. But today I have big pieces to wash and prepare including a back. Yuck!
