Getting started.
|
Selecting fabric.
|
It is all rolled into one big FUN for me
|
I guess I like the choosing of which fabric will go next to which. It's somewhat time consuming, but the rewards are worth it.
|
I love the binding because it means I'm done!
|
It may sound crazy, but I love, love, love the cutting part! I recently made a quilt that had billions of little pieces - I started cutting at noon, and stopped at 8:30pm - time just flew by! Then I got to sort all those little pieces into piles to piece in sections. That time went quickly, also. It seemed like it took forever to piece the 22 sections, then put them together and border it. It's finished now, and I still look back on the organized part of cutting and sorting as my favorite part!
|
I love looking for just the right fabric to go into a quilt I have in my head... and finding it in my stash so I don't have to shop. I like the part where it's starting to look like a quilt... and that very last stitch...
|
I love the part of planning the quilt for someone special and searching for just the right fabric and pattern for that one person.
|
favorite part is the actual piecing. Love seeing all those cut up pieces come together to create something.. :)
|
Umn? I love the finished piece, thoroughly enjoy seeing how it has all come together at the end.
Maybe1day :D |
Seeing the blocks all come together, being appreciative of the talents GOD gave me-creativity, basic quilting knowledge, and determination to stick with it til the quilt is completely finished. Thanks GOD
|
the best part for me is when the binding is done !! that means i can start on another!
|
I'm with Jaye-Lee. Love to piece, do not like to machine quilt. Piecing is relaxing, quilting make me tense.
|
finishing it

Picking out the fabric!

|
picking the fabric and cutting
|
Planning, calculating, piecing, and then the finale - binding!
|
I love spreading my stash out on the dining table and decide on the colors I want to use and then go shopping for that one missing fabric.
|
Spending time by myself and creating something so different. The comments from friends is also rewarding.

I enjoy every phase of making the tops, cutting, piecing and assembly but I don't like the layering part at all.
|
QUILTING!!!! I could do this for 18 hours a day if someone else would do the cooking and cleaning!!!
|
making the blocks & then peicing the top to see if it comes out how I dreamed it would
|
Giving them to someone!
|
I love the finished product. Then I can start planning the next one!!
|
My favorite part is snuggling in the quilt when it is done. I have to sort of "test drive" all of them!
|
I like piecing the top best. - Cynthia
|
What I like best is free motion quilting. I could get lost in it for hours.

Having the peace and quiet to work on a quilt.

Making the quilt tops
|
The binding is my favorite, I could set and do bindings all day. I love doing the corners first to make sure they come out square.I have a friend who has a long arm business, and I love doing her bindings, just something about seeing it done,and being satisfied with the finished product.
|
love to see it coming together
