My favorite part is the actual quilting. I am a hand quilter and have been known to purchase a preprinted panel that looks like a pieced quilt and hand quilt the heck out of it. Most people, including other quilters often can not tell it has not been "pieced" or appliqued.

Depends on the pattern, but usually I like the piecing the best. I don't like sewing on long strips though, like borders. I like little pieces. Especially scrappy/crazy quilts where anything goes! I have lots of fun grabbing random scrappy squares and seeing what comes up next.

I like all parts. I'm weakest at picking out a quilting design but once I do I enjoy it. I don't mind the bindings - I usually hand sew to the back. I don't have any hand or wrist issues and I find it relaxing. Since I quilt mostly for my own pleasure I'm never in a rush to finish anything.

I am with you, love the hand sewing of the binding! Since I am getting older and starting to get arthritis in my hands I know my hand sewing days are numbered so am enjoying it while I can!!!
