I like to cut fabric, I like trim my scraps into usable pieces, I like to make crumb blocks, I like to piece squares and strips mindlessly. I like to fondle fabric, fold it neatly, shake it out and dream about what it could be...but I don't really like to put them together into a quilt and definately don't like sandwiching and quilting...
So what am I?
Fortunately my group I sew with has several people who don't like to cut, and absolutely love to find enough blocks in our orphan block box to put together and make a quilt.
And we have several long armers who do the quilting of the soldier quilts.
Over the last seveal years I've made several hundred 6" crumb blocks. I find it very relaxing but another person has collected all the small scraps from our group to use as stuffing for pet beds for shelters. So now I'm doing strips.

I force myself to finish tops, and occassionally I'll quilt a kids quilt but I'm cussing and fussing and unsewing and resewing the entire time. I'm happiest doing what I like to do cut and mindlessly piece.

I love to cut up my fabric's too. I do enjoy making the tops but the rest of the process. I have several drawers full of different sized squares and rectangles and triangles just waiting to be used. I sold quite a lot of them but it didn't even make a dent.
