I hated the quilting part until I took a class and learned FMQ. I had 3 tops just waiting to be sandwiched and quilted and was dreading it. But after that class, I was so excited to have 3 ready made projects to FMQ on. And I love it! I love figuring out what to quilt, how to mark it and it is fun to see the end product that is so much prettier (imo) than a stitch in the ditch or tied quilt. It adds so much character and personality. I can't wait to make my next quilt top so I can quilt it!
