[quote=oma66]Nothing is perfect and if you are looking for P E R F E C T you will kill yourself trying to acheive it. We are all trying for perfection, and that is not the same thing as PERFECT. I say let it go, put on the third border and stand back and admire your first quilt. Your son is not going to be looking for imperfections, he is going to be loving the quilt his mom made for him. Isn't that what is most important? The quilt is wonderful and the colors are great...you have done a beautiful job on the quilt.
I think this is so true - get it finished, feel you've accomplished something tremendous cos you will have, and let Tomi have his quilt. There are many more quilts just waiting to be made by you and with each one you will get better and then you'll be posting your own tips and how to's. We all had a first quilt and I can tell you the corner squares were way off on mine.
