Sandwiching the layers. I don't mind the pin basting or quilting.....just the laying out part - nothing fun about it and time consuming. :-( Hand stitching down the binding is my very favorite part!

I don't like basting and binding the quilt it is drives me crazy because when I'm basting I can never get it straight enough to pin it together and feel like I'm constantly smoothing it out. The binding is always folding and not laying down like I need it too. The best thing I like about quilting is the piecing.

Making the sandwich. But I now use basting spray and I love it. I am terrible at basting straight lines! But then, I never could WALK a straight line, not because of drinking, but because one leg is shorter than the other! LOL!

I don't like hand sewing the binding, so I usually machine sew it. It doesn't look as nice, but it's a lot more fun. I'm also not crazy about cutting batting off the roll to fit the quilt. Other than that I like every part - cutting, piecing, ironing, putting it on the frame, quilting, trimming, and binding (until I get to the hand sewing part). I think I like every step because with every step I can see such huge progress!
