    I really love each step and pat myself after each completion.. every block, every straight seam, every binding. I love had sewing so I am a bit weird and love to bind. Besides that means it is done. Enjoy it.

    My least fav thing is the binding. Don't know why because it isn't that difficult but I just don't like doing it.

    I've found that when someone admires a quilt I've finished, I say "Oh, it was nothing. You'll really enjoy it!" My husband overheard me making this, or a similar comment.He asked me later, "Wasn't that the quilt you had to crawl around & around on the floor because you had to piece the border?" I replied witha shrug, still basking in the praise of a fellow quilter. So, I've decided quilting is like having a baby-a lot of suffering and pain at the beginningwhich is completely forgotten with the first "Ooooh! & Aaaaah!" star619

    Sandwiching is my least favourite part, followed closely by marking. So now I set a full day aside, put on some happy music and have Indian or chinese food delivered. Sometimes I get several done in the one day, depending on the size.

    For me I have to say it's the cutting of all the pieces for multi bolck tops. I love the look when they're put together but cutting just bugs my old joints.

    Personally, I HATE winding bobbins. I try to do several at a time. But when I see the last bobbin being popped in, I dread what is coming. Why? I don't know, I just do.

    I love picking the fabrics for a quilt,especially with some quilting friends along for the journey. :thumbup: :wink:
    The borders and binding seem to really slow me down,right now I have 5 quilts that need the binding done. :thumbdown:

    I really like most of the work of quiltmaking. I bought a longarm a few years ago so I'd have to say that finishing quilts is my favorite part. I LOVE to finish customer quilts, too!
    Least favorite part is watching my husband when he adds up my credit card bills for fabric, etc!
