For me, it's not about perfection as much as it is about trying to become a little better each time. I will never make the perfect quilt, but I also love my craft enough to try to become better by reading a lot of books, taking classes, and studying the tutorials posted on this great board. A key component, however, is that it has to be fun. If quilting isn't fun, why bother to do it? As a teacher I stress enjoying the art, but I also impart ways that have helped me to become more accurate. If I taught my students that none of it really matters, then we are striving for mediocrity. My biggest frustration during my first 2 years of quilting was inaccurate piecing and incorrectly sized blocks. I took a lot of classes and now, although I don't make "perfect" quilts I am a happier quilter because what I do is perfect enough for me.
