I am certain that mine will never be "perfect", but one things for sure, one can stress out trying to be so. I do wish to be able to do my best, but perfect is not in my vocabulary when it comes to this craft. And if you think back to the beginnings of quilting that was not the main focus. Beauty is always welcome, but art is not always beauty to anothers eyes, so let's face it, we all find solace in knowing we made it and it shines in our eyes and the person who it is given to. Just my thoughts :)
