I hate doing the bindings. I have about 8 finished quilts that need binding just because I can't get myself motivated to do it. Hope to take a trip this fall with DH and am going to put at least 2 of those quilts that need bindings in the car with me. I figure I can do that while he drives.

But I really really dislike squaring up the blocks. I'm making a Friendship Star. It's going to have 42 blocks (I think). Each block has 1 solid square and 8 HST. I detest squaring up those HST's before I sew them all together to form the block. And it's putting a damper on my quilting this weekend. I keep taking breaks. I wish I could hire someone to square my squares! :roll:

Please watch El Burns demonstrat her triangle square up ruler, it is revolutionary. I like doing HST now, so easy to square up with, get this, ONE cut.

Joanns carries this ruler and with a coupon it goes for $9.00. It is my favorite besides my basic ones.

If I have to offer up something I don't like about quilting, it would be frog stitching. I hate to RIP out. I'm fussy about my seams and sometimes I cannot get them to match the way I want!!!!
I am a true fabriholic - love, love, love it. Just found Moda Bella solids and love them. Also love sewing machines. Just found Juki's and I'm thrilled I did. So, I am happy with everything I do in the sewing arena - just not the unsewing.
