Hand Quilting is my favourite. It's easy to know because besides sewing the length of fabric togehter by hand and finishing the quilt with a knife edge it is all I have to do on a wholecloth!

I love it all, just wish cutting would not cause so much pain. God bless.
|
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. |
I love, love picking out a pattern and fabrics. Cutting is good, as is sewing. After that it's a real effort to finish.

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. |
THE BINDING!!! BECAUSE IT MEANS I'M DONE!!!YEA!!! but i really enjoy the whole process...well, cutting not so much, but everything else...yup, i like it all...but the best part is DONE!!!

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.

I like all phases. What I like best is once I start sewing. I have the design all done, the pieces are cut, I am ready to go. That is when things go the fastest for me.
