I like piecing. I am most relaxed by hand sewing the binding, either on the back or when I bring the backing to the front. :lol:

Love design, love cutting, love piecing, grit my teeth through the sandwhich and baste stage, all to get to my most favorite part which is free motion quilting.

i have to agree with u on everything here except fmq havent quite figured that out yet i guess by the time i get to the sandwich part i am sick to death of the stupid thing and just want it out of my sight i think that is why i like simple easy projects that only take a couple of days oh yea and probably the A D D my kids had to get it from somewhere lol!

I Love all the processes including the binding, I french bind and love the hand sewing...and creating the nice mitered corners. was so very hard to machine stitch the quilts for kids.....

I, pretty much, love it all -- except the sandwich making. Then I suppose the ironing of the freshly washed fabrics. The machine quilting is difficult for me, but I like it. Of course, I don't get too far out of my box. All I do is SID and XH. :wink:

I dislike quilting it the most. Cutting it out would be second. But I love ironing my fabrics and pieceing them together. And I really enjoy hand-sewing the binding down. I usually do it while watching a movie on TV.

I hate having to write that check to my quilter. Sometimes it is more than the quilt cost.

Boy o boy. I'd love to have you come to my house. My least favorite part is the cutting. I get all excited to begin the process of piecing and quilting, only to have to stop to cut out everything. UGH! My favorite part is selecting the fabrics for my projects...I seem to have "an eye" for color.

I thought I was the only one who loves the piecing but not the quilting!

Now I've figured this out!! I was trying to reply to above quilter.

Boy o boy. Would I love to have you move to my home. This cutting out business is my least favorite. I get all excited to begin a new project and then remember that I first have to cut it out. UGH! My favorite part is selecting the fabrics...I seem to have "an eye" for colors. I love all colors!

I wish I could have pinning parties twice a month... I dislike it and get very bored with it... I wish there was that spay on stuff here in China... But, my husband is nice enough to help me pin...
