I am doing my first block swap and it scares me as I am also worried that mine will not measure up. I have never met any of these quilters, only know them online, but worry they will not like my block selection. You have made me feel better about all this. I realize I am not the only one who feels this way.

Amen! :)

We are our own woret critic

BRAVO! :thumbup: (I've been there myself)

Yes, we're often too hard on ourselves. Have you ever taken a really close look at some of the quilts in magazines? I've seen several with seams that don't quite match. Even the "experts" don't always get it right.

Good for you to figure out you have been way too hard on yourself. I am trying to make a perfect quilt, not yet but, I figure if I keep trying maybe I will please myself, or at least I will figure out it isn't going to happen. I have gotten a lot better with it all.

I love your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:
Thank you :D |
Im not a perfectionist and my home sure shows it.
Some of my blocks are good, others not so good. When making blocks for a group project they must be the correct size and that takes some doing. I have never been able to use a perfect 1/4 inch seam and have a block the right size, they are always to small. |
It's great when we finally learn to accept ourselves. It took several events in my life to let me learn that. I am now a relaxed & happy camper.
When somebody says something that upsets me I try to figure out if that person intended to or not. Then I decide if i should blow it off or not. It's great to be older & wiser. :) |
