I'm a piecer too. When DH suggested one time that I get a long arm and go into business, I quickly set him straight. Not my favorite part.

I love hand quilting and love sitting in front of the tv and putting on the binding. sometimes I get eager for the binding and go ahead and put it on then finish the inside quilting.

My favorite part is picking out the colors for the quilt. My least favorite is the pressing.

It depends on my mood. Some days I really enjoy the process of painstakingly cutting very precisely sized bits of fabrics, other days I can happily piece for hours, sometimes I can't wait to get going on quilting, other days all I want to do is draw and design and play in my stash. All of that is part of why I usually have at LEAST two projects going, in different stages of completion.

I almost never enjoy making the quilt sandwich or sewing on binding. I don't hate either step, but if I had an "assistant", those are a couple tasks I'd be content to delegate. Those two phases tend to be where my projects get hung up for a bit, I'm never eager to do either.
