Love planning, cutting, piecing and binding a quilt! However, the actual quilting process - from determining the motif to quilting FMQ or with rulers - is the most challenging step for me. Sometimes, it's my least favorite because it's not as easy to do but it's always the most rewarding when finished. The same goes for paper piecing and curved blocks - not my favorite while doing it but always rewarding in the end.
Oddly enough - I also enjoy the process of organizing my sewing area and tidying up after sewing. I find it enjoyable to step into a clean and organized sewing room so that I can get busy creating.

My LEAST favorite is sandwiching because I have very little space and it means moving the sandwich several times before sandwiching is completed. My FAVORITE is the hand piecing because I begin to see everything coming together. Since I've started doing the big stitch it is very relaxing to just sit and stitch. Goes very fast and the finished project is exciting.

I like all aspects of making a quilt. I have been making quilts since 1966 or 1967. Hand quilting the first 25 or so was very slow going. When I started machine quilting in 2002 I starting really making lots of quilts.
I keep or make ones I just have to have, give to kids, Grands, Great Grands, friends and lots of people I don't know now days I donate lots to foster kids in my county. I love to make quilts but, can't keep them all.

The designing. My design wall always has something on it, even 3-4 layers. Probably need more DW's. Then I sew a little together and design some more. And I like finishing-ta da. My fingers ain't what they used to be, so hand binding are limited to very special quilts, but I do enjoy that too.
