I like binding the best, probably because it's that final completion. My least favorite part is sandwiching- which seems silly since I spray baste, but I usually need a little help holding the parts, and it's not always easy to find help when I need it.
I'm also not fond of cutting, especially if it's expensive fabric, I'm so worried about making a wrong cut. The house has to be totally quiet if I'm going to cut fabric from LQS. Other fabric,I'm not as worried about.

I just love making quilts all the different steps, but I love the look on someone's face that I get one of my quilts to. Last fall I gave my three sister a quilt each. I could not believe the smiles and hugs for the quilts they gave to me and their quilts. My kids and grandkids too. Happy day when I give family and friends a quilts or a guilted items.

My favorite part is the challenge of seeing a picture of a quilt in a magazine or pattern envelope and making it happen! Probably the hardest part for me is fabric choice because there are too many choices. I always pull out my intended choices and stack them up as they will appear in the blocks and look at them for a day or two-change them if I think I should and then cut. I like the whole process and I like to try different ways of doing things. I just finished a top for a grandson-age 18. It is in 3 vertical sections which I plan to quilt individually and then assemble as a whole, a QASG method. I like new ideas and methods-some I only do once!

I agree with all you say, I put off quilting for ages, especially on large quilts but love putting on the binding.
