DUHHHHHHH Light bulb moment!
One reason I can't proceed with the next step is I don't have batting... How's that sound for a reason? Good enough? Well that's my reason and I'm sticking to it! |
I'm a finisher. I love to quilt and just make tops so I can finish them. My tops are all very basic easy patterns or I make them up, sometimes as I go.

I am a prolific piecer!
but I also love the quilting, but I will wait until I have several tops and then quilt for a few weeks until they are all done. I like sewing the binding the most! Just very satifying to have a completion. |
piecing for me! I love selecting fabrics and seeing the design come alive. Anything over a simple lap quilt and I take it to my local senior center where they have a longarm, or else to one of the guild members for finishing.

I'm pretty much a piecer because I quilt by hand. It takes me 4-6 months to quilt (nights & weekends and doing nothing else). I can't wait that long to start the next quilt so my tops have piled up. I can't quilt by hand any more so I will be learning how to machine quilt on my sewing machine. All those tops now have a chance of getting finished.

I like to do both but really enjoy the piecing more. As of now, I have 7 quilts waiting to be quilted. I only have the batting for two so I don't feel I'm that far behind.

When I start a new project, I can work on it every day with enthusiasm! After the top is together, I run out of interest in getting them finished. I have about 4 right now - just waiting. Anyone else there? Anyone else been there and figured out how to get through it? HELP!!! :-D |
Hey, I fit into this catagory, love to piece'm hate the layering part. Got about a dozen tops lying around.

I love piecers like you all.
Many piecers or toppers find their way to my door snd let me have the honor of quilting their quilts. They quilt "by check" and let me do the actual quilting. This gives them more time for more piecing, and earns me a living doing work that I love. WIN-WIN situation I say! |
