Sorry to rant, just having a bit of a pity party! :oops:
Nobody is born knowing how to do it. Practice makes perfect. You are probably the only one to notice. If other quilters do notice I would hope they would have the good manners not to mention it, as I'm sure they could all remember when they first started.
For any non quilter who should be so rude as to point it out just ask "when did you make your last quilt"? Rest assured the people who receive your quilts will not be looking for what you consider faults. They will be more interested in wrapping themselves in the love that your quilts carry.
Don't give up. Just make more quilts so you can practice more.
