I have to pick just one???


I'm with Sandy on this one - there are lots of parts I like. Picking
out fabric and imagining how it will all go together, admiring the
finished top and imagining it quilted, doing the quilting and taking out
the @%%$ basting safety pins, hand sewing the binding with the quilt
spread out over my lap, giving it to the recipient and/or sharing at a
guild meeting.... I guess I'm hooked!

And scroll down a little to the video. I was riveted and hated to see
it end!

My favorite part is the last stitch of the binding and thennnnn......
tossing it wide open out on the big floor and seeing my accomplishment.
Yep, I love that feeling of another quilt being finished and ready to go
on it's way.

I like trying new things so my favorite part of quilting is making the
first few blocks to judge how my idea will work. Problem is that I too
often stop when I know the idea will work. Is it a UFO if it was an
experiment in the first place?
