I guess my thoughts go to my grandson's saying: "I do the best that I can and that's as good as it will get"....... and he sticks by that motto! (being only 9 years old) He is a good student and loves sports but does not excell in the sports, but loves it for the fun he has - and there is so much truth in that statement - I too, do the best that I can when quilting - I love it when things are perfect, but not always does that happen, and unless it is a big flaw, and it more than likely is only me that can see it - and once the quilt is quilted, it won't be seen very easily, relax and go on - quilting is supposed to be for fun and the gifts of giving - so enjoy and keep those machines and fingers humming! Every quilt is beautiful in the end - mistakes or none...
