    I find cutting very relaxing. Same with piecing, if it's all going well :D
    I hate binding and basting.

    I love shopping for the fabric, cutting, and piecing. I love putting on the binding because I love the handwork and the fact that the quilt is finished by this time. I dislike the "sandwiching" process. I have tried spray basting, crawling around on the floor, but usually end up using my dining room table and pinning and pinning and pinning! Yuk

    I know exactly how you feel! I bought an ironing board cover by I think...Judy Taylor?...it was at Hancocks. But, anyway it is printed with a grid, measuring tape etc. It's ideal for spraying squares and pinning them down with the grid to press and help square up those rascals that tend to want to curve. I buy the old fashioned starch at Walmart that comes in a gallon jug and mix my own starch, a weak starch that I prefer to pray the fabric down with. Once I discovered this method I was so much happier with the results. Then, after pressing, it's a breeze to trim up the square using my various sizes of square rulers from Omigrid. Hope this helps!

    I love the whole process - the designing/pickout of a pattern, the choosing of the fabric, then cutting and sewing. What I hate is not having TIME. Or any uninterrupted time. But somehow I complete it. (just not in a timely manner - ha)

    I think most of us have tried to do that at one time or another!
