I think quilting is an evolutionary process. When I first started I was happy with "pretty good for a rank beginner". Then, as I picked up new tools and techniques and ideas I got to be a real perfectionist. All that did was build up a pile of UFOs because some little thing wasn't just right so why bother to continue. Now, in my dotage, I'm inclined to be a little more relaxed. Bottom line though, there is a difference between "good enough" and "just plain sloppy". MHO
