I love piecing.
Quilting is okay but not quite as fun as piecing. I recently got a Juki on a Mini Penni frame. Before that, I hated quilting! LOL!
I hate putting the binding on, even though it's probably the easiest part. I've got a queen-sized quilt completely finished except for the dingdang binding! :lol:

I really enjoy hand stitching the binding. I use tiny stitches (approx. 10-12 per inch). I find it very relaxing.
((ok so I'm odd :roll:))

I think I least like the "last half" part. Piecing or quilting the first half is exciting, challenging, fun. Then by the time I get to the second half I'm at the point of being bored with it and just want it to be done----at that's the part that's my favorite!

The part I like least is there isn't enough time in a day to get very much done and I love the whole process but arthritis makes me have my quilts finished by machine. I am going to put a small wall hanging on a frame and see if I can do a few stitches at a time.

I don't like the quilting part.
I love piecing. I'm doing the Farmers Wife Sampler blocks and it's great-each block is a new challenge. This is my favorite thing to do. What am I going to do with all 100 blocks when they're done? I'll probably end up with 100 potholders because I won't want to quilt it!
