Making quilt blocks, then binding

jillnjo 05-03-2011 05:00 PM

Looking at patterns,finding fabrics,quilting.Really all of it except cutting-ug.

GwynR 05-03-2011 05:01 PM

I don't think I can pick one! Every step is fun!

dellareya 05-03-2011 05:04 PM

Making blocks and binding. I like to do the binding by hand. It gives me a connection to the quilt.

Dee Dee 05-03-2011 05:09 PM

Making quilt blocks.

Sewing Blocks, Rows and Borders together

happyscrappy 05-03-2011 05:10 PM

i love to come up with pattern/color combinations, but if i have to pick a favorite, it is hand quilting.

GreatStarter 05-03-2011 05:11 PM

Buying patterns, and piecing blocks. It used to be hand applique, but hands went bad.

hperttula123 05-03-2011 05:17 PM

I love quilting!!!! It's my favorite. Picking fabrics is a close second.

sewobsessed1 05-03-2011 05:18 PM

The hand quilting and binding.

mackandblues 05-03-2011 05:25 PM

Sewing the blocks and hand quilting are tied in my opinion. My least favorite are cutting and ironing.

pastorpatricia 05-03-2011 05:27 PM

Finding time to quilt is my favorite part.

Pamela Artman 05-03-2011 05:27 PM

I love it all! But I really love picking fabrics and cutting the quilt!

Dingle 05-03-2011 05:30 PM

Piecing. I stink at everything else. :D Come to think of it, I'm not that great at piecing either. I'm just a wanna be. I'm real good at buying things, just not using them. :shock:

fabric_fancy 05-03-2011 05:32 PM

designing the quilt and then making that design

Jill 05-03-2011 05:32 PM

Binding--without a doubt my very favorite part. Mainly because that means I'm almost finished and get to start another one.

TonnieLoree 05-03-2011 05:34 PM

That is a hard one! I enjoy all parts, but I think it is the admiration and thanks I get when giving one as a gift. But, I do like completing something, especially if it has been in the stack of UFO's for a long time.

Buckeye Rose 05-03-2011 05:39 PM

deciding on colors, finding just the right fabrics and then piecing the top....the rest is just frustrating

patchsamkim 05-03-2011 05:41 PM

I think picking out the colors is my favorite part...and next would be the piecing....I don't really mind any part of the process...just love starting new projects!

mustangquilts 05-03-2011 05:49 PM

ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

littlehud 05-03-2011 05:53 PM

I love all the steps but my favorite is the quilting of it. I put on music and relax and quilt.

Ditto....

Jingle 05-03-2011 06:28 PM

I like all of it with as many new gadgets as I can find. Machine quilting all the way. I hand sew the binding to the back of my quilts, only because it looks much neater.

sewbizgirl 05-03-2011 06:37 PM

Putting fabrics together and cutting. Binding is fun, too.

sueisallaboutquilts 05-03-2011 07:02 PM

This is too hard!!! lol
Okay, probably quilting, but I hand quilt. I am trying to learn FMQ but I'll always have something to hand quilt.

kathdavis 05-03-2011 07:04 PM

Making quilt blocks and then the finale, sewing on the binding.

Quiltforme 05-03-2011 07:32 PM

The planning. I love to plan out a quilt I have so many planned that it just takes up a lot of space in my mind :)

Carron 05-03-2011 07:35 PM

Planning the pattern and of course, the 'TA DA 'when it is finished.

quilt-fanatic 05-04-2011 12:44 AM

I love sewing the binding on by hand. Means I'm almost finished.

SEW 05-04-2011 01:22 AM

I think it must be pulling everything out and starting over again...since I am so good at it!

Lavada 05-04-2011 03:27 AM

everything except the ripping when i make a mistake when piecing

gollytwo 05-04-2011 03:28 AM

cutting

You hit the nail right on the head. Each one and in that order.
You did miss one though - stand back, when it is done, and just say "Did I do that?" And thank God your fingers made it through another one. Edie

QuiltinMama 05-04-2011 03:51 AM

My favorite part is finding the pattern and picking the fabric colors and being with other quilters and finding out what they love!!
Not thrilled with the quilting part.. I am working on the quilting part just slow... LOL!!
