My least favorite part is the pinning the layers together and having to piece the backing. My favorite part is seeing whatever the pattern may be come together. I also enjoy doing the binding since I learned a great way to meet the ends.....works perfect every time.

I hate squaring up but I make myself do it. Just about everything else I enjoy except as someone said-those backs you have to piece.
|
I love to pick out the colors and decide what pattern to do. I don't like to cut, I find it boring, and I don't like to do the quilt sandwich because I have to spread it out on the floor.
|
I love everything about quilting except handwork....uugghh.
|
I love picking out a pattern, and going to the store to pick out the fabric. I don't know how many times I've gone with one color theme in mind and come home with something totally different. Washing and drying the fabric is something I don't like. I do love cutting, piecing and sewin top together. I send it out to be quilted because I don't like to FMQ on a large quilt. (Hope to some day have a long arm) Then I love to bind it, by sewing onto the front, turn to the back and hand sewing it.

I dislike piecing the back, the one I'm working on now was so time consuming.
|
I really enjoy the whole process; from picking the pattern and fabrics,to the piecing and quilting, to putting the biding on.

Then I just don't even want to look at the borders...until I start getting them on and I'm anxious to see it finished. Then the first half of quilting it goes great, until I start to get bored. There is only one part of the quilt that I never procrastinate on doing - the binding! Because as soon as I'm done the binding, I can wash and dry and give it away so I can stop looking at it! HA!
BUT!!! I LOVE each part! I love piecing blocks and laying them out and seeing the pattern show through. I love getting the blocks together in the top, and seeing my "plan" come to life! And the borders just MAKE it, sometimes. I love it all. I hate it all. When I'm getting close to the end, I find myself NEEDING to finish this *darn* quilt! But then when I give it away, I wish I would have kept it, just for a little while, to snuggle with some of my hard work. lol I really do love quilting. I swear! I'm keeping it small lately. I think that's going to be my sweet spot. |
