When do I "fix" it? It depends. On my mental state at that moment. If I keep thinking about it. The intended purpose of the quilt "Is it going to Puducha?" or an ART venue, or the unfinished bin. Will anyone believe me, "I ment it that way". Can I embrace the changed affect. It's got to be really "BAD" before I'll go backwards. So it's personal. Many of my friends fix ALL "mistakes". That's their thing and I respect it for them.
So for you, you have to choose your own standards.
