For me, free motion quilting. To put so much of yourself into a quilt, regardless of your level (mine is between great beginner and almost, sorta, kinda, maybe a little intermediate. But to really finish off the quilt, that's my problem. I cannot get a binding that has ever worked out, so I had to figure out a new way to bind, but when you want to make your "special" quilt to really work, it needs the proper dressing. And sometimes top quilting is the key to really showing off your work. As i was told be a very exquisite quilter, practice, practive, practice. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hand quilting. I am working on a small Grandmother's Flower Garden, but I plan on starting a BIG one soon out of 30's repros. I would love to be able to hand quilt it and have it look at least decent.

I'd like to be able to machine quilt small projects like table runners and wall hangings. I hope to learn this year. I've just ordered a book to help me.

I want to learn patience and the actual quilting part of quilting. Another reason why I love making QFK quilts. I get in a whole lot of practice, practice, practice.

I want to learn to be more patient with myself and strive for more accuracy.
