I agree that we are our own worst critics. I worked on a couple of Christmas quilts today and whenever I saw something that was less than "perfect" (and I use that term loosely) it aggravated me. But I decided right then and there that I would not mention them to the recipients. They may notice and they may not; most non-quilters have no idea do they?
I also agree that we may be fishing for compliments. We all enjoy being affirmed; that's one of the reasons we post our pictures here. I really appreciate the compliments and suggestions I get here. I know our quilting has improved as a result of tips and help received from this board.
Merry Christmas everyone. We have a slim chance of a white one here in TN!
