AMEN! Perfection is an illusion. I used to hesitate showing my quilts because I thought they weren't as "perfect" as others who had been quilting longer until I realized that mine are also beautiful. The comparisons don't make any sense. Those who have their "imperfect" quilts in the national magazines and in the quilt shows are pleased enough with their quilts to show them. I'm joining them and CMWORALL who started this email string! THANKS!!
