I make no to effort to conceal I am a piecier. The thought of shoving and wrestling a larger quilt through my regular machine just makes me cringe. My whole quilting world changed when I discovered long arm professionals.

I love all parts of the process, from idea, picking fabrics, cutting, piecing, to quilting. Not to much of a fan of binding but I would have to say the part I love the very mostest is giving the quilt that I created to someone who loves it!

My heart is with the designing aspect of a quilt. I love it when I see a pattern and the brain snaps awake remembering that the perfect fabric is waiting at home in my stash !! I sometimes get bored during the piecing if I take too much time to finish. Then I feel the pressure to get the top piece since I don't want any more UFOs hanging in my closet!!

I like the design process the best. I love sitting there with my graph paper and/or EQ, playing with possibilities. I also love the hunt for the "perfect" fabric for something once I've finally settled on a design. Also piecing, and even cutting is very satisfying.

Pretty much I like everything except basting and binding, and it's not like I hate those steps. They're just my least favorite!

I am not very good at the piecing but I love the quilting, either free motion or choosing a design/pattern that will go with the top.

Planning for me--I love looking at a piece of fabric and imagining what I can do with it.

I like the piecing the best. The cutting hurts my back and makes me crabby and I'm still too scared to try the FMQ.

After all the planning and all the stitching etc., I think seeing the final product. Its seeing all your hard work and efforts in being creative for hours and hours. Seeing someone happy with your time and talent.
