I love your last statement...we are so not perfect but I too have places where it's just right! I found myself stymied by the fact that each seam was not just right on and perfect so it held me up from continuing on. I realized I "was the quilt police!" Now most are dead on right (by snugging the seams together) and some aren't and it still looks great and at least the quilt gets done! ;-)
