My least favorite part is buying the fabric....oh wait....that's my most favorite part (tee hee). :D My least favorite part is sandwiching and then deciding how to quilt it. That's where I really get stuck. Once I get going on the quilting I'm okay, but getting started is my brick wall.

For me the finish is the fun.

Oh how I loath loading and unloading a quilt on to rails for machine quilting!!!!!!! I hand quilt most everything bigger than a wall hanging; one day I'll actually send something out to be done.....I hear these's someone out there that doesn't mind it.

Left-hander here. I hate to cut. But I'm sticking with it.

I have a special situation. This is a very OLD trailer and I must turn off the heat to stop and press anything or I will trip the circuit breaker. Sometimes I feel like Lisa Douglas on "Green Acres". It would not bother me as much, I think, if I did not have to remind myself to stop, turn off heat, turn on iron, press my pieces, turn off iron, turn heat back on. Yikes! Can't wait for spring when I will not have to have the heat on.....

I actually like the whole process and I always finish one before I start another, so I know if I get one finished I can start another.

For me, it's about the fun...not about the finish.

Making the sandwich. I don't have enough space to stretch the backing and seem to get spray fix everywhere but on the batting - including on Branston the dog!

I dislike the piecing the most. I have learned over the years to just go ahead and do the parts I like the least so I can get to the parts I like the best. I love picking out fabric and imagining what I am going to do with it. All the steps after that until I get to the handquilting are just like a "job". As a child my brothers and I hated to do the dishes. As an adult I have learned to "just do" mindlessly, many things so that I could get to the best parts.
