Looks like piecing is the favorite of most. I don't drag my feet as much anymore. I used to just tie my quilts, then started hand quilting. (still trying to perfect the stitches). My friend bought one of those small longarms, her goal is to get me to use it. I've started off small with a hopping foot on my machine. I now find fininshing a creative part of the quilt also, I combine hand quilting and machine quilting.
