So what am I?
Fortunately my group I sew with has several people who don't like to cut, and absolutely love to find enough blocks in our orphan block box to put together and make a quilt.
And we have several long armers who do the quilting of the soldier quilts.
Over the last seveal years I've made several hundred 6" crumb blocks. I find it very relaxing but another person has collected all the small scraps from our group to use as stuffing for pet beds for shelters. So now I'm doing strips.

Okay Judith1005 and NativeTexan, I will cut and piece, and occasionally, sandwich; I do despise the quilting part. Just not good at it. I think we should make a club on the board: Pass around blocks, have a couple of us sew them, another couple bind, etc. I will even donate batting!
