    Finishing.

    I am always amazed at how much better the finished quilt looks than I thought it would. All those imperfections during the process are lost, and I can admire the end product to my heart's content!

    Putting the fabric together and see what it looks like is the part I like, but when the quilt is all finished and done completely then I love it and feel I did good. LOL

    I love all of it. Its my time to just relax and enjoy. I can only quilt after my babies are in bed so its a nice way to end the day. I also love when I can go shopping for fabric, I don't get to go shopping alone often so its always nice when my hubby watching the kids and I can go wander the LQS and pick new fabric.

    I love the planning because I get to pull out my fabrics and my inner 5 year-old gets to play with color pencils and grid paper.

    Piecing is my favourite; quilting is my least favourite. Ironing falls somewhere in the middle.

    My favorite parts are finding the right fabrics that go together, piecing the top and seeing how it comes together and finding the person that particular one is just right for. The sandwiching, quilting and binding are ok and part of the process, but are more of a chore to get done than an exciting adventure.

    Choosing a pattern to work with the fabric I already have and learning a new technique.

    What part do you enjoy the most?
    Same favorites here. Love to cut the pieces, do the piecing, and then the binding. If someone would do the sandwiching and the quilting it would be OK with me. Sandwiching is the pits.
