The quilts we make have flaws and we know it - I think we feel like we have to vocalize our mistakes. Instead I suggest writing it down in your quilt journal (if you keep one) or just stand in front of the quilt and say out loud all of the flaws that are there and then let it go! My last conversation with a quilt went something like this ---- "I sure wish I had used a stop border on you before adding the large border....if I had used the same fabric as the binding, you would have been perfect....you look a little busy and confused....but you are going to a new home where you will be loved for all your flaws and I won't forget the important lesson I learned from you." No kidding - I talk to my quilts - lol -

I took a similar pledge a long time ago....if I don't praise my work, no one else will either.
