I absolutely agree with you. I love that wonderful moment when you spread it out and really look at what you've done and all the little things you worried about have turned out just fine. It's all good but that is my absolute best.

I love the piecing and mostly the hand quilting. I really don't like the cutting and putting the layers together.

Putting the three pieces together to get ready to quilt. I always end up having a crease someplace on the back of the quilt. - J

I basically love all aspects but my least favorite is getting it sandwiched and the final quilting done.

Me....I love piecing the tops....I just love seeing the colors go together and the shapes take form.....like putting a puzzle together. I can just do this over and over and over. Gee, if I did this, I could have a never ending stack of UFOs. But it's like an addiction even while I am finishing a project I find myself day dreaming and my mind wandering on over to a new project.

Anyone else have that problem....or am I bi-polar, tee hee. :-D

I am just like you,I can piece tops for ever and keep thinking what one next.

Me too!!! I lie awake at night thinking about the next project (not even close to finishing the first 10...)....what a great addiction!

I can't come up with a "favorite" part, but sandwiching a quilt is my least favorite.

Mine is the piecing, love to see all the beautiful blocks come to a reality, then I love the binding, only because I know the quilt will be finished!!!!

I love it all except waiting for the quilt to get back from the longarmer. I would love to quilt my own but I just don't have the room for a longarm. I always worry if I am going to like what she does with it also.
