I like all of it, even burying threads. My favorite part is free motion quilting on my Brother PQ1500. I’m not expert but I do enjoy doing it.

I can feel the adrenaline rush through my body when I start cutting fabric for a new project. Then I feel it again as I'm putting completed blocks on the design wall to watch the magic. And I have a serenity wash over me when I'm hand binding and thinking about the quilt's destination. That's probably my very favorite: thinking about the response of the recipient.

With a grand total of 3 quilts done, I may change my mind at a later date, but as of right now, I would say my favorite part is putting the plan together, even when I make changes as I go, and then seeing the top done and comparing it to the stages that the plan went through. I take a lot of pictures as I go, so I can go through them and compare how it morphed... :) Great question BTW.

My favorite part is everything up to the point all the blocks are made. I love researching methods, planning, selecting fabric, cutting, sorting, and piecing blocks.

I enjoy all, but my favorite part is FMQ.

I love piecing but I'm one of those weird people who enjoys sewing the binding by hand.

First is the fabric selection. I love to run my hand over the fabrics. Such a thrill. Then, I love piecing. Something about getting the seams lined up perfectly.

I have always done a lot of hand finishing when I sew so the hand binding is my favorite part. I love the satisfaction of seeing crisp corners and angles. I also have to confess that I love collecting all of the rulers, tools and gadgets that are available. I know most people don't need them, but I have hard time with visualizing the end results as I cut so the specialty rulers help me a lot.

I love reading these answers and getting a glimpse of what “floats our boats”, quiltwise. I would never have dreamed there were so many quilters who love hand sewing binding! :D

quilting it, followed by the piecing.
