I enjoy piecing the blocks the most. I love to see the quilt start coming together.

I love the whole process Each quilt is a journey, and each phase a stop along the way.

I like the planning stage - figuring out what I want to make, picking a color palette, pulling from stash and searching for fabric.
I don't so anything until I am 100% sure of what I want. I still have many groups of fabric waiting for projects....

I have fun with the whole thing except the mitering corners. Seems to be problem. However the tute and the tool I now bought hope will end the nitemare.

I LOVE hand quilting. I'm learning to piece & machine quilt. I have so many ideas that there's no way I would be able to hand quilt 'em all. I like borders & bindings. I just don't like preparing the fabric...ie... Washing ...Ironing... & cutting.

My favorite part is also the 'fresh out of the dryer' new quilt too! I just love seeing how the quilt 'blooms' from being laundered. Am I just goofy, or do others wait for that moment too?

I love most phases of quilting, but I like doing the binding because I'm pretty confident about my abilities there and can expect a good outcome most of the time, and it means my quilt is almost done--except for the BIG reward, taking it out of the dryer!
