I enjoy hand appliqueing and handquilting the most -- don't like cutting, machine sewing, layering, basting -- really enjoy the finished product the most!

Hope everyone enjoyed the Moose pictures I posted yesterday. what an experience that was. will never see that again. Anyone who didn't see them check out MOOSE AND TWINS dated 8/19/2011.

I would love to know how to do it this way instead of attaching it to the front and having to hand stitch it to the back...working on my first paper pieced quilt top

I can not think of one thing I don't like about quilting, maybe keeping the sewing room neat, just can't do that.

Making the quilt sanwich, get it wonky every time. Thinking about trying the spray basting on the wall method.

I really enjoy sewing the binding, it's relaxing by the boob tube, and I know I am almost done with my quilt.

I to am too old to crawl around on the floor sandwiching a quilt; I found a solution to that problem. Some libraries will let you use their meeting rooms. Free of charge. They have large tables to use. How much easier that makes the job.

For me the worst part is making the backing!

I hate the sandwiching as I'm 65 with a bad back and I have to do it on the floor if it's a quilt of any size. It takes me a long time as I have to stop and rest often. Sometimes it will take a few days to get it done and I have to keep the dogs out of the room ore they will turn it into new dog beds.

I think cutting would be my most dread in quilting. I get excited when I get to the binding. That means it's almost done. I do not like most patterns and colors choices there are in charms or jelly rolls.

I have a quilt that I need to cut for about 3 months now.
