I also go by this theory! I read somewhere when I first started quilting that the Amish always put a "mistake" in their quilts because they are not perfect, only God is perfect! So when I make a mistake, unless it is too glaring to ignore, I smile to myself and am reminded that I am not perfect. It takes a lot of pressure off!
