Finishing!! I always feel so proud of myself after a quilt is completed. I love the picking of patterns, I have about a hundred or so I want to do. :D

All of the above!

Piecing - hands down!

Developing the design and creating the top. Of course, some designs are redesigned as the quilt comes together!

Seeing that first block put together :D

Looking at quilt patterns: Love doing this! there are soooo many out there!

Finding and matching fabric: Who doesn't love going fabric shopping even if they are just shopping in their own stash!
Cutting the fabric: There are many changes you can make in the pattern at this point that will make the quilt all your own, and that's fun too....

Making quilt blocks: watching the blocks form a cohesive unit whether it be geometrics or applique is always fun....
Sewing Blocks, Rows and Borders together: The quilt is becoming a thing of beauty! Who doesn't love that???

Quilting: I usually do free motion and I put on some music to get a rhythym going...It's almost like dancing! I certainly love that part!

Binding: The best part of binding is knowing you are almost done! How could you not love knowing you have completed a thing of beauty??

Nope....I can't pick one thing..the whole process is amazing!

The whole thinggy i love it all

I enjoy each part of it. Sometimes the hardest part for me is deciding what to do, what pattern to choose and then what fabric to use.

My favorite part is when I put the last stitches in the quilt and I can wrap up in it.

hand sewing binding...love to sit at night, watch TV and do that

I like every part of the quilt making process. Except for the actual quilting which I have done by someone with a longarm quilting machine. However, I have to be in the mood to do the cutting, and sewing. Somehow I'm ALWAYS in the mood to find or shop for the fabric and pick a pattern to use. LOL :)

I love piecing by hand, then sewing the blocks, rows and borders together.

All but the last 2.

My favorite part is the quilting.

I enjoy finding a pattern, hate picking fabric, love, love cutting and sewing the block, hate basting the top, batting and backing, love the actual quilting part but absolutely hate anything to do with the binding.

Just simply looking at my FINISHED quilt! and knowing it is finished. But I can't relax until I start another. That is addiction for you !

Quilting & binding...actually all of it...from marking out a design to binding...it's all relaxing for me.

I like the whole process from start to finish.

I love picking the pattern and the fabrics to go with it. COLOR turns me on! I can spend hours looking through my stash for just the right fabric designs and color combinations.

I love it all!

So far my favorite is making the blocks and my least favorite is the binding. I have only done the binding a couple of times so its still new to me. I love that binding video though. She uses the glue and it makes so much sense! I am going to try that on my next one. I'm thinking it will go much better than my last quilt.

Making a top so I can quilt it.

Dreaming it up!

Can't pick just one.........I love the whole process!

My favorite part is the planning .... picking out the pattern to use and finding the perfect fabrics to use with that pattern .....seeing if I can find the right fabrics in my stash, or if I need to go buy one more or two more fabrics to go with what I already have.

Second favorite part is starting to put my blocks together and starting to see the "big picture."

Love the whole process though.....

Cutting the fabric, now that I have the GO cutter. Next is sewing all the pieces together, cause they fit so perfectly.

You missed the last step. Showing it off! lol

All of the above lol

The planning and fabric matching.

I like the whole process, but really love choosing the fabric!

Making the quilt blocks(as my huge pile will attest) and then looking at patterns :-D

I recommend you take a class on making a particular quilt. Once you have finished that quilt, if you cannot start another one on your own, sign up to take another class on making another type of quilt. If after the second quilt, you still fell uncertain about making another quilt on your own, hopefully you have met a friend or two at the previous quilting classes. If you have, just choose a pattern you like and call on your friends to make one with you.
Why do I know so much? I had the same problem and this is how I solved my problem. Good luck and I wish I lived near you and could join you.

I am a fabriholic first and then hand quilting second!

straightening the fabric before I start to cut it.

I absolutely love handquilting. Picking out fabric and sewing the top together is pure torture for me. I actually often make my 17 year old son go with me to pick out fabrics that coordinate because it would take me a year to make a decision on fabric.

I love when I have everything all basted together and I know I have a quilting project for the next 4 months with no piecing to do!

LOL....Too funny! Sounds like me! :lol:

The designing..graphing..cutting..piecing of it..is my favorite part..watching it come alive..lol !!! Then I agree..binding by hand makes me feel like I'm adding a personal touch to it.. I won the battle and it's done !! I actually dread the quilting part of it..lol..!!!

Looking at finished quilts! eapecially in a big interesting show!

Finishing something.

I enjoy every part -
