    Which do you like doing the best? The cutting, block making, quilting the finished project. Sometimes i find i am only in the mood to cut fabric. Other times it's the construction of the top.
    What is you favorite part of making q quilt?

    I enjoy the block making and sewing on the binding.

    I kinda "get high" when I'm reaching the end of each stage. Like, I get all giddy when I have "almost everything" cut out. And, when I'm sewing the rows together. And when I'm serging around the edge to cut off the excess....etc, etc, etc...

    I mostly enjoy the selecting of fabrics, cutting them out, piecing together the blocks and the quilt.
    My least favorite are the final pressing, the sandwiching and the quilting (I never know the best way to quilt a quilt)

    Designing the quilt and picking out the fabrics from my stash would have to be the highest point.

    I like every phase but I have times when I only want to cut, or maybe I only want to piece. So I usually have several projects going at one time so I can "feed my habit".

    I like the design phase the best and then cutting.

    EW EW I like it all, but not at the same time. I like what I'm doing at the moment. I tend to get bored easily and move on to another project. I have a mystery quilt I've worked on since July and I only have borders to put on. I miss calculated and the first border came up short. I'm trying to make a design adjustment. So I signed up for a sew along this long weekend and pulled fabrics for it (sort of a mystery also)this week. Was gone all day so I've got some of it started. Still haven't finished those borders. I like it all.

    Fondling the fabric! And when the finished quilt comes out of the dryer. Those are my favorite parts.

    I love all of it except the binding. The quilting is probably my favorite. I also like to cut a lot. I really envy those of you that absolutely love binding. I wish I did, and probably would if I could sew by hand. I enjoyed embroidery immensely, but since my hand surgery my hands still go to sleep.
