The actual quilting is my least favorite. I love the planning, cutting, seeing the pieces come together....but the quilting is hard. Oh, and I like the binding because that means I'm almost done! Just the label is left to do.

I think cutting the fabric is my worst nightmare-Sewing, I
like best.

mine is to be told by the numerous folks they want me to work thier tops and then not send them. It happens more often then most people think.

I don't like sewing the squares together. I have yet to hand quilt my projects because I balk at basting the layers together. One of these days .....

Binding has to be my least favorite. When I finish the hand quilting, I always feel like I'm done, but then that binding hangs over my head.

I'm with you - and I have even offered a quilter friend of mine to swap chores - since she hates doing the binding I offered to bind for her if she would cut for me - so far I haven't heard from her as to whether she wants to.

I do not like the sandwiching and quilting - probably because I'm not good at it. I love piecing the top. - Cynthia

I hate piecing. I always end up with something not straight or the points just won't match etc. Give me a wholecloth or cheaters cloth quilt to handquilt anyday.

Oh, I do agree. Love cutting, piecing, quilting... can even do the binding - by machine of course

Doing the borders is my least favorite part.
