As far as quilt police:
1. I like all of the quilts- the perfect ones, the crooked ones, the coordinated and the scrappy. A quilt is an expression of someone's creativity. If you feel it needs to be perfect and win an award - that is great...but not everyone does. Allow them the freedom to create.

2. I quilt for fun and relaxation - it is the process, not always the end result. If my seams are crooked, my points don't match - and well, unless the quilt is commissioned by someone, I only have to please me.

3. I do my best - I set my own high standards, but when my friends show me a 'homemade' or not so perfect quilt, I can honestly say it is beautiful. I know how much heart and soul and time went into it....

And if the quilt police come and get me, all i ask is that the lockup has a sewing machine and a stash...
