Facing Your Quilting Fears!

Jill's next question for us is:  What part (or parts) of the process of making a quilt are your least favorite? The part (or parts) that you just dread and that make you throw your projects back into the dark recesses of your stash closet?

I'm pretty sure my least favorite is the actual quilting.  I just get so frustrated trying to wrestle a quilt of any size through my machine.  This would explain why I have so many quilt tops laying around.  I also may or may not have trouble making  the backing.  I've pieced together a backing already, but wasn't happy with how it turned out.  Do I have avoidance issues here or what!

Inspiration Anyone?!



I can say all the usual things like cleaning up my room, putting away fabric, but one thing that can get me started again is taking a class...which kinda defeats the purpose of finishing UFO's!  However, sometimes getting together with friends to start another project is something that will give me motivation. 
Here is my latest project, a Disappearing 9-Patch.  This was a free class given by my friend Nancy.  The class was so popular when offered by our quilt guild that she extended it to two nights.
