In other words the smile on there faces is enough to say I did a great job no matter how many mismatched seems, points that don't match, blocks that are a bit crooked or slightly different sizes, or any of the other issues that it my have.

I do envey those that are that meticulous to have there work turn out just so and everything is perfect, but for me I don't need the stress it causes me to have on top of my already high stress level.

So to all of those here that can do there projects to that level my hat is off to you and a standing ovation coming your way. KUDOS to you all!

Well said Grammyx3, my thoughts exactly. I give most of my stuff away, and to non sewing people at that, and they cant see the mistakes. I beleive every quilt has to have a mistake, because then it makes it unique
