Good for you! I've been my own worst critic at times, so I've adopted a few "rules" in my sewing and quilting:
1. Done is better than perfect
2. If I'm traveling past my project at 5 mph and it looks good, it is perfect
3. If I make a "mistake", I can cover it up, cut it out or call it a design element.
Now I'm not saying I'll do sloppy work just to get something done, nor am I'm saying I don't try to perfect my skills, but I am going to focus on the pleasure and fun that I find in sewing and quilting!
I am my worse critic.2 years ago for Christmas a dear friend gave me a gift and made me promise to read it every morning before I started working. When I opened it,it was a plaque that had been painted to match my sewing room with the message,"Only God makes perfect quilts". I still read that sign every morning.
