that's such an interesting question. When I first started quilting, I was okay with good enough. but as I continued, I gradually became more and more of a perfectionist. I agree with you, however, that Good Enough was much more relaxing and I was satisfied with the overall feeling of accomplishment that I attained from finishing the quilt. Now, I want it to be a certain way and that's where my feeling of accomplishment lies. It's still relaxing - except the actual (machine only and always) quilting. I'm always stressed during that.
