This is one of the hardest questions I've ever had to think about!! I like designing on my Quilt Pro program, but I don't do it frequently, so that's probably not my favorite part. I love looking through quilt books and magazines (and on the QB!) and picking patterns for future quilts. I LOVE picking fabrics, so much so that I've "bundled" 60 bundles of fabrics for future projects just because it was so much fun matching up fabrics together. I LOVE cutting my fabrics, and will sometimes cut a new quilt while working on another just because I can't wait to cut out a new quilt! I LOVE sewing on a quilt, especially a new quilt. I can't wait to start those pieces flowing through my machine forming beautiful blocks. I enjoy hand quilting, and I can get addicted to it at times. I have tried a little machine quilting, but I'm not very good at it yet. I love applique, and I even like sewing on binding. I tend to have several projects going at the same time and I have a slew of UFOs. I guess my favorite part is STARTING a new quilt and my least favorite part is FINISHING them!! LOL

I like it all except the quilting part .. I am sooo greatful for Long Arm Quilters. Nothing is worse than wrestling a big quilt through my small opening. There is a reason why there are lots of tops out there that never got quilted... those quilters had the same issues that I do.

Me too and I think that's why I never get bored with quilting like I did with counted cross stitch, crochet and knitting.

piecing and picking out fabrics, hate cutting, hate binding, haven't tried my hand at quilting yet so can't say if I like it, but practicing has been fun

Planning and anticipation -- most of mine are still WIP's and are mostly to the point of getting ready to handquilt.

I hate cutting, like hand quilting, and really love binding because it means I'm nearly done.

I think I like everything everyone's mentioned, but my favorite part(s) are:
1. the look on someone's face when I hand them "their" quilt
2. sleeping under a quilt that I've made
