My favorite part is piecing a block. I am not always perfect but seeing the block come together from a piece of fabric into some specific part is as beautiful to me as the Mona Lisa.

I love it when what I see in my head actually works and looks good in reality. And I love gifting it to someone who loves it.

Funny, my favorite part is whatever phase I am in at the time! I am in my happy place in every aspect of the quilting process, from selecting pattern and fabric to taking that final stitch on the label (but sometimes that point can be bittersweet, especially if the making has brought me a lot of joy). I sometimes burn out if the quilt was an exceptionally detailed longarming job so then I can't wait to get into piecing mode or starting a new quilt. I even love prewashing and ironing the new fabric, it is like getting to enjoy it all over again after buying it. I can't say I have a favorite part of the process because it changes with my mood and mind set. This is probably why I have so many UFO and WIPs. While some may sit for years, even decades I do return to them. Although now that I really think about it, I do really love sharing my finished project with other quilters and when a complex completed quilt turns out exactly like envisioned it.

Designing it, even if it’s a kit as I’ll change it up. Then picking fabrics is right up there.

I love when the blocks have been finished and sewn together into a completed top. This is when I get a chance to see the flow of the pattern and play of the colors.

Hands down - FMQ!!

Oh wait - best part? Pulling the quilt out of the dryer and its all crinkly and DONE! I don't prewash anything and its always a thrill to pull out a warm completed quilt. Best part ever!

This is a really hard question that I've thought about many times. My quick answer is that I love piecing the quilt. It reminds me of watching a Polaroid picture transform in front of your eyes. But, I think I love the challenges the most. There's the challenge of finding the perfect fabric, the challenge of getting everything to match up correctly so the picture in your head becomes the quilt in front of you, the challenge of the quilting (oh, that's my biggest challenge) and finally the challenge of the finish..... everything exactly as you planned. If I didn't feel the challenge I'd get bored and find something else to do.

It's not the one I finished last week or last year, or the one I'm working on. It's the one I'm planning in my head. Then of course I love to spend money on pretty fabric.

My favorite part of making a quilt is putting the pieces of a block together and seeing the results. I also really enjoy hand sewing the binding on and this means I am almost finished and can move onto another project.

Piecing.....

My favorites are: selecting the pattern/design and choosing fabric and hand sewing the binding.

Let's see. I love looking for a new to me pattern, also love picking out the fabrics and being able to change my mind several times before deciding on the most beautiful (to me); then I get excited cutting out those neatly stacked squares, triangles and strips. But then I can't wait to get several blocks put together so I can see how it is going to look. Then, oh my onto the quilting!!!!!!!! Love quilting!

Piecing and Designing. I love both so much.

The planning and shopping for fabrics.

Piecing is my 2nd favorite thing about quilting. What I really love is when it is finished and I can add embellishments, beads, 3D flowers, lace, buttons, etc..........................

Last year I would have said picking the fabrics and piecing, but I have changed my mind, and my new passion is quilting (though I am a complete novice) It is fun.

My favorite is piecing. Buying fabric is my favorite thing of all though lol

Piecing the blocks and piecing the top. Don't like to sandwich or quilt the quilts.

I enjoy pulling the fabrics for a quilt. It's exciting to see how colors interact with each other. And I also like to do the hand stitching of the binding. I love how it gives such a finished, complete look to the quilt. But then, I've always enjoyed hand sewing.

I love the hand quilting part of making a quilt. So relaxing. My least part is matching corners which is why I do mostly hand applique. Very forgiving.

Piecing is my favorite part.

I enjoy all aspects of quilting, but my favorite part hands down would be the gifting of the quilt or the first time I snuggled under a quilt I made for my own use.

Planning it is probably my favorite, then piecing, and then binding. I love the binding step.

1st is buying the fabric
2nd is the piecing
3rd is the binding because then it's close to being finished. haha

Favorite part - picking a pattern and finding fabrics then its time for fun. I don't have a least favorite part.

I’ve thought for a few days about this question. I love the whole process of making a quilt. I think the part I love the most is how I feel while at my sewing machine - which is usually happy. I like puzzles, so putting a quilt together feels like a big jigsaw puzzle to me.

I love your answer! I've also been thinking about this and I feel the same. i find myself humming to myself as I sew. Sewing is so therapeutic! And then I love to sew on the binding...another therapeutic action. When I'm finished I can do a happy dance.

Love choosing the fabrics but, finishing the top and hand sewing the binding are my favorite parts!

Definitely piecing, sandwiching the quilt is my road block. I have to really press on to get that done.

I enjoy picking out the fabric for my quilt....secondly would be putting the last block on the top!!
