I hope you don't quit! I've been sewing since I was 4 years old and not one thing I've ever made is perfect. I love it anyway. I've made all my daughter's prom gowns, wedding gown, and all kinds of baby quilts and stuffed animals. I do it because it's relaxing and the people I make these for appreciate them. I will never enter a quilt in a show because that's not why I quilt. I have donated quilts to NICU units, nursing homes, churches, schools and cancer centers. Some are hanging on walls and some are warming up babies and others. No one I've ever given a quilt or stuff animal to has ever pointed out my "imperfections" (which I prefer to call my "personality branding"). Do it because you enjoy it. Once it becomes stress producing it's no longer fun.
