If I lived close to you I'd offer to bind them for you. I like binding, but do it all by machine.

Thank you, Jan. That's very nice of you to offer. :thumbup:

My daughter would probably do it if I asked. I just hate asking. She's already helped me with a couple of parts of the quilt, but she's a quilter, busy with her kids' activities & works full time. Most of the time, I'm pretty independent.

I hate the fabric preparing, and then the cutting. I hate to iron fabric and I hate the rotary cutter. I procrastinate a lot when it comes to starting a new project.

I like doing binding, but I really hate the quilting of the quilt. I wish I could hand quilt.

I also take the back and wrap it around it's so much easier I do all my quilts that way

i would love to know the specifics of this...would love to try it!

Yeah! :thumbup: It's all bound & in the washer.

I'll post pictures next time my daughter is over. She has to put pictures from my camera on the computer for me.

It's "I Envy Sylvia" made from Sylvia's Bridal Sampler.

I'm with you on that... 10 years ago I could have done that crawling-around stuff -- not now!

I hate not having enough room to set up my sewing/quilting stuff.

I don't like doing bindings either!

Do not like making the "sandwich" and pinning it.

Yes that's exactly the way you do it. I usually put a line of glue that is the same length as my iron is long. Clear as mud?
I do like using glue for my bindings & for matching seams. Glue rocks! :thumbup:

I hate cutting.

i place my blocks on a spare queen bed...the hard part is pinning the rows together....my back gets to aching to reach the middle!

I get frustrated squaring up blocks. I put so much time and effort into accurate cutting and sewing an accurate quarter inch seam allowance but my blocks still end up uneven! Everything else I really enjoy!

I'm with you. I do not like doing the binding.

Binding is my least favorite things to do also.

I love doing the binding, it is my favorite part!

I really hate trimming the dog-ears off triangles.

I hate squaring the fabrics and the final quilt. I have never figured out if I'm doing it correctly. I know one of these days I am going to screw up a perfectly good quilt. I don't get the off grain thing either. How do you ladies look at fabric and instinctively know it is off grain? I buy good fabrics to avoid problems but I know problems occasionally happen with every manufacturer.

I should stick to baking - that I don't screw up!

Relax. Unless its going in a show it doesn't have to be perfect. Do your best, learn with each one, & soon you'll wonder what was so hard. :thumbup:

Keep baking but don't give up on quilting!!

PS I prefer to make the blocks too big & cut down instead of blocking. Hope this helps.

I honestly don't mind any of it. I get a little nervous when I am cutting, because I don't always get it right, but, other than that, it is enjoyable for me. I'm no expert, though, and sometimes I have issues, but, after things are washed and dried, most of the time, they disappear.
