    I like to find and match fabric, but also like to cut out and sew together!

    I love planning that involves looking at pictures, touching fabric, thinking about what might be, and coming here for inspiration.
    In the long run, I both love and hate all stages. It's always so much fun starting but when I have to cut hundreds of little bits, well, it gets old. Sewing the blocks is exciting then I hit a spot where it seems I'll never have enough blocks for a quilt. And on it goes.......
    And always, in retrospect, it was WAY more fun than it might have seemed at the time. (kind of like giving birth)

    I'd say definitely hand piecing/quilting/applique. I love the quiet rhythm of it.

    I enjoy the planning phase too... except for color/fabric selection.... color choices usually give me major heartburn!

    Just curious....Stephaniequeen
    I love and enjoy the whole process but especially hand quilting. As a "quilt as you go hand quilter" I piece and ready a panel of the quilt and begin quilting on it. While quilting on it, I'm also piecing the next section of the quilt and gradually build it out this way one panel and then border at a time. It works well and enables me to do my own hand quilting and I'm in the process of getting ready to begin building out a round robin quilt from 2010 into an over sized queen spread. I don't even mind the binding as that means another quilt is already in the early stages and I'll soon be ready to hand quilt again.

    I love hand quilting, it is the most relaxing. The binding (also by hand) because when I get to that part it is finished.

    The Fabric, then the patterns, then sewing the blocks.
