Mine is the pressing after all the blocks are sewn together for the top. Getting all those blasted seems going the right direction before sewing on the borders!!! Ug!!!!! I pressed 5 lap quilts last night and I sure got a work out!

I agree with you. I actually hate that part. Not too fond of doing the free motion quilting either. Probably because I stink at it.
:lol:

You're not going to believe this but my least favorite part is assembling all the rows after I've made the blocks. Just seems like so much up and down from the chair, matching seams, pinning, pressing, unsewing and resewing because some block managed to magically move out of place, pressing again. It's the size of it all that bugs me a bit.

I agree, I hate sewing in all those loose ends. I know a few ladies who just cut them of, but I have to sew them in :|
