    You know what? Puckers don't bug me. I've occasionally gotten some when piecing because....well, mis matched seams DOES bug me. I will deal with a pucker in a block to make sure my seams match. My last quilt was the first one on my new machine, and I hadn't gotten my 1/4 seam sorted out yet. That one had quite a few puckers in the top. I did go buy a 1/4 foot after that and the next one was pucker free lol. But you couldn't even notice once it was all quilted and washed...*I* couldn't even find them and I was looking for something I *knew* was there! lol

    I haven't yet encountered puckers on my quilt back...I'm sure I will, eventually! LOL It will completely depend on the size of it to determine if I rip it out.

    I think my biggest flaw is that I don't always sew 1/4 inch seam :( . But I can live with most of my flaws.

    All of the above and lots more I'm sure. The older I get the easier it is to admit faults...they are just part of my wonderful personality...lol

    My biggest flaw,among many,is that I don't finish things. I see a new pattern or find some lovely fabric and off I am to a new project. I can't call myself a quilter until I learn to finish what I start.

    Let's see: I'm short, I'm fat--oh you meant quilting flaws.
    I'm obsessed with making blocks. If I see one I have to try it. I must have 100s of blocks piled up in the closet. If I ever need a potholder I'm ready! Gotta find a way to put them in a quilt (after I try some new block patterns I found).

    The biggest flaw that I have had is striving for perfection. When my seams did not match it drove me bonkers. That is until I posted to this group and they gave great advice about riding by on a horse and others. I felt relieved. Most of my seams match in the quilt I am working on now, maybe a shade off here and there, but, as this quilt is coming along, you don't even notice.

    My biggest flaw...I buy patterns and quilting books like they are going out of style, yet I never use any of them. I have never used a pattern for any of the quilts I've ever made...LOL

    I have the same problem in the kitchen! I buy recipes books, but never cook!

    Getting the exact same line and edge of fabric together when rotery cutting. Sometimes I'm just a tad off and I try to be so careful!
