My favorite part is finding just the right fabrics to make a design work well. Next is the piecing and seeing how it comes together.

The idea for the top! With double vision, reading is somewhat difficult, so I sometimes mis-read numbers in patterns. (What that really means is that I don't follow instructions well!) I wound up 'inventing' a few quilts because of that, and discovered I liked to do that. It is so cool when I'm rummaging through my stash for a fabric for one quilt only to become inspired by finding a completely forgotten fabric that, for some reason, flashes a quilt top into my head. More than one quilt has been, uh, delayed because of those flashes of inspiration!

Next is the follow through - cutting, piecing, etc. The part I truly dislike doing is binding. Ugh.

If you like making little quilts, try the "Square Family Reunion". Each piece is a little quilt; they all have their own personality and their own colors. It's like being in a big crowd of people; each person is dressed differently, and it doesn't matter of the gal dressed in orange goes and stands by the one dressed in red. I so enjoyed making all those little quilts. Mine has over 200 "little quilts". I made mine bigger and put them together differently, but it is easier if you do it like the original pattern.

Square Family Reunion sounds like a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Picking out the fabric!!

I enjoy binding also, but making that first block and seeing that it's as perfect as my minds eye envisioned is the icing on the cake.

My favorite part is when the quilt is all done, washed and dried, and the kids are fighting over who gets it.

My favorite part is seeing the design come together with my chosen fabrics. Somehow my vision of it is almost always surpassed.

Hand stitching the binding. It is the grand finale!

Macybaby, too bad we don't live close to each other. I like binding. I think it is having the whole job finished. I just finished two quilts this past week. one queen size and on large throw size. If we lived close I could bind your quilts for you.
