Personally, I don't make mistakes. If the cookies are a little browner around the edges than you are accustomed to, I meant for them to be that way. If the cake sank in the middle, it's because I put in extra shortening to make the cake richer and really rich cakes fall. And if a quilt block is wonky, turned the wrong direction, is filled up with colors that don't quite go together or anything else, it is all part of my planned design--a conversation starter.

I agree that no one will be wiser--and if they are, they won't dare say anything. froggyintexas

Lol love this answer!

I guess I don't take things as seriously... when I make a mistake, I'm usually laughing at myself, and I'll post it so everyone else can laugh too.

I would post so others don't make the same mistake. Notice the word would. LOL

LOL ya alll are funny !! After I had a quilt police tell me how I was messing up and she was so darned perfect (she was from a quilt guild I USED to go to), I have never showed another picture or person my quilts, I just make them and send em out to whom they are meant for .. mistakes and corrections !LOL

HAHA

I am the FIRST person to admit that I am not perfect. Since I DON'T
enter my quilts in contests I am not worried about them being perfect
either.

In my PERSONAL opinion any imperfection, goof up, or just plain crazy
is what gives each handmade item their own special uniqueness which
also says "I was handmade; not mass produced or store bought".

Of course like i said that is just my personal opinion.

As for posting pictures of flaws most of the time I don't see them at first
because I am looking at the uniqueness of the project.

So sorry to hear this. That pm just sounds tacky, mean spirited and negative for what it's worth.

I'll post mistakes to see if anyone else knows how to fix them.

What gets really annoying is when I've written "X" is not an option and get multiple suggestions to do "X."

I would just rather post a "What Not To Do" ask us how we know. More like a learning lesson and not so self-demeaning.

Usually when that happens to me I have to fix it, if I find it before it's quilted. If it's after the quilting then it's a design enhancement. haha

I agree. What's wrong with venting and whining when you're talking about your own work??? I haven't posted that kind of post, but if I did, I think it would be to ask for positive criticism (Which this board is know for)
