    The best part for me, is the IDEA, of what I want to make, then the quilt when it's done. It's the completetion of my vision. Its like my Minds Eye coming to reality.

    I absolutely love the dreaming and deciding on what I want to do.

    Then, I like the completion of each step.

    Since I've never kept a quilt I made, I love the joy and enjoyment it brings to others.

    The best part for me is the finished quilt. All the work has finally paid off!

    The designing and drafting of the pattern.

    I also like the hand quilting, but unfortunately I don't have much time for that, so most of my quilts end up machine quilted.

    I love picking out the pattern and putting it together. That is so much fun.
    I guess I just need someone to cut and do that binding and I would live in a perfect world. lol :D

    I couldn't have said it better myself!!!! I have several quilt tops done, and started making another. My hubby asked "why don't you finish what you have started". I said "I have to many ideas to not keep going." :mrgreen:

    This is an easy one.

    Napping under a newly completed quilt for the first time. I do it with EVERY quilt I make. Even the ones I give away. The ones I make for my hubby or kids, we nap under together. Brings tears to my eyes sometimes, during and the after thought.

    Imaquilter- we have a similar custom at our house. My husband takes a nap under every quilt that is made in our home. It is his rule (and my pennance for buying all this fabric ) My husband claims that he is giving the quilts a quick hug before they are given away :):):)
