The designing..cutting layout and piecing it..my group I belong to..tease me..that I can design and put it together in a week or 2 and it takes me a year to quilt it..lol !!
|
I love the piecing and mostly the hand quilting. I really don't like the cutting and putting the layers together.
|
Putting the three pieces together to get ready to quilt. I always end up having a crease someplace on the back of the quilt. - J
|
I basically love all aspects but my least favorite is getting it sandwiched and the final quilting done.

Me....I love piecing the tops....I just love seeing the colors go together and the shapes take form.....like putting a puzzle together. I can just do this over and over and over. Gee, if I did this, I could have a never ending stack of UFOs. But it's like an addiction even while I am finishing a project I find myself day dreaming and my mind wandering on over to a new project. Anyone else have that problem....or am I bi-polar, tee hee. :-D |
I love everything about making a quilt :)
|
I can't come up with a "favorite" part, but sandwiching a quilt is my least favorite.
|
Mine is the piecing, love to see all the beautiful blocks come to a reality, then I love the binding, only because I know the quilt will be finished!!!!
|
I love it all except waiting for the quilt to get back from the longarmer. I would love to quilt my own but I just don't have the room for a longarm. I always worry if I am going to like what she does with it also.
|
Designing and piecing for me. I'm not crazy about quilting and there are others who are way better at it so I let them do it.
|
Watching the face on the person who receives the quilt as I generally do not tell them that I am making them one! THAT, my friends is what makes me happy!

designing it, and giving it... although FMQ may become my fave part soon!
|
I love the piecing and then actually putting the blocks together and seeing it come to life before my eyes.
|
I love quilting, but I really do enjoy piecing it. It is all fun, but the dreaded binding. The binding is the only thing I do not enjoy in making a quilt.
|
Like so many of you, I love it all!!! I don't have the eye for choosing wonderful fabrics that go together in interesting ways, so that is probably my least favorite part, but I still love it...
I even love talking about it and reading about it!! ha ha ha |
Planning and quilting it!
|
I love doing the binding, thats my favorite part
|
I love EVERYTHING about making a quilt except the fear of
it not being the correct size when I'm finished--like maybe an inch too long or short! |
Piecing it!! Wathcing those colors!
|
Designing, piecing and binding! I don't like the sandwiching or quilting part. Thank goodness my quilt guild accepts just tops for charity quilts and has someone with a longarm quilt them. Then I can get them back and do the binding if I want!
|
I love the designing and putting the colors together. If I use someone else's pattern I always change it so it is not exactly like the pattern, so I always have one of a kind quilt. Even before I get through hand quilting a quilt I am designing another one in my "mind" and I get ideas not only here on the board but in nature too.

ANYTHING but the piecing!
|
Right now, I HATE cutting. That's because each piece has to be ironed first and I am having to cut on a table that is too low. Back is killing me!
I like planning, piecing, but don't like basting/pinning the sandwich, partly because I don't have enough space. My very favorite part is putting the sandwich in a hoop and putting in that first quilt stitch and then smoothing my hand over a finished section. Something so special to me about hand quilting. |
Miss M, I'm with you. I love the planning and piecing. I have an E-5 for my computer, but find myyself drawn to graph paper and colored pencils.

fabrics and designing then assembly until I get to the quilting. It is still not my favorite part.
|
I know few others actually like it, but I even enjoy binding. I really have a ball with every step, since it's one phase closer to the finish and helps me feel like I've accomplished something - even before the whole thing is done.
|
I Love seeing the whole thing done & admire the finished project! But, I love the sewing part the best of the process--piecing it together & seeing how it works together. Terrified of the quilting part, so afraid I'll muck it up. Don't mind the cutting part, find it's actually fun, but I haven't done any complicated patterns, just straight strips & blocks. :-)
|
I like everything, except cutting. I think it is boring :oops:
|
Putting on the label - then it is done!
Maybe the very best part - seeing it in use! |
I love planning, fabric, cutting & machine piecing....oh I love piecing. The top quilting is a so so, I'd rather have a LA do that so I can go onto my next project!
Blessings, MaryAnna |
I love it all except sandwiching.
|
I LOVE: planning the design and layout, picking colors and playing with fabrics. I like: piecing, arranging blocks on the design wall, and binding. -- I do not like: the cutting, and since little experience with FMQ that's a battle.
|
planning,designing and picking out fabrics.
|
I like picking out the fabric the best! Love to put colors together and visualize!
|
I love the whole precess. Each step has some excitement in it for me. I love shopping for fabrics and then chosing thecolors and patterns to go with the design I want to make. Then the piecing...and of course I have to quilt it myself because by the time I'm done with the piecing, I know how I want the finishsed quilt to look and I can't describe that to another quilter. I just love quilting!
|
Quilting (on longarm) and Binding!!!
|
The hand quilting. Most definitely.
