I like making the top and doing the binding. I really need a place to pin baste my quilts, since the local quilt shop closed; there isn't any place for me to do it.
So I keep making tops

I love the search for the right fabrics and the planning stages. Second best I love the piecing each block. After that I like sewing the blocks together into the top. Cutting can be difficult for me so it's not my favorite thing to do, but I do like the good feeling of seeing the pieces accumulate ready for the piecing to start!! Sandwiching and quilting are very difficult for me, so I will either QAIG or tie.

My very favorite is selecting fabrics for a project. Next fav. is hand stitching the binding onto the back. Least fav. is the ironing & machine sewing the binding onto the front.

Put us all together & I think we would do well doing our favorite parts. There would be some great quilts completed at the end. :thumbup:

I enjoy all stages of quilting,even though I have problems with binding.

What is you favorite part of making q quilt?

My favorite is putting on the binding. I find it very relaxing, and also its a great feeling to know you have almost finished a project. LOL

I think binding and as someone else stated getting the finished quilt out of the dryer.

I love the design phase the best. I will make dozens of graph paper mock-ups before I cut anything. If I can find a speedier way to sail through construction, I do, and that is a great feeling.

First of all I love quilting because there are no calories and it’s fat free… Second of all and best is the priceless look on the face of the person that I give it to… I really enjoy sewing and quilting.... its like therapy to me I just seem to lose myself in what am doing and forget my problems.
