Designing, piecing and binding! I don't like the sandwiching or quilting part. Thank goodness my quilt guild accepts just tops for charity quilts and has someone with a longarm quilt them. Then I can get them back and do the binding if I want!

I love the designing and putting the colors together. If I use someone else's pattern I always change it so it is not exactly like the pattern, so I always have one of a kind quilt. Even before I get through hand quilting a quilt I am designing another one in my "mind" and I get ideas not only here on the board but in nature too.

Right now, I HATE cutting. That's because each piece has to be ironed first and I am having to cut on a table that is too low. Back is killing me!
I like planning, piecing, but don't like basting/pinning the sandwich, partly because I don't have enough space.
My very favorite part is putting the sandwich in a hoop and putting in that first quilt stitch and then smoothing my hand over a finished section. Something so special to me about hand quilting.

Me....I love piecing the tops....I just love seeing the colors go together and the shapes take form.....like putting a puzzle together. I can just do this over and over and over. Gee, if I did this, I could have a never ending stack of UFOs. But it's like an addiction even while I am finishing a project I find myself day dreaming and my mind wandering on over to a new project.
Anyone else have that problem....or am I bi-polar, tee hee. :-D

I know few others actually like it, but I even enjoy binding. I really have a ball with every step, since it's one phase closer to the finish and helps me feel like I've accomplished something - even before the whole thing is done.

I Love seeing the whole thing done & admire the finished project! But, I love the sewing part the best of the process--piecing it together & seeing how it works together. Terrified of the quilting part, so afraid I'll muck it up. Don't mind the cutting part, find it's actually fun, but I haven't done any complicated patterns, just straight strips & blocks. :-)
