I was highly intimidated with all the "perfect" requirements for quilting - that's why it has taken a long time for me to attempt to even start to quilt... No, mine are never perfect... they are more whimsical and/or crazy... but I love them and now have fun creating my own designs...
I've seen all the new 'tools' out there to make quilting easier... but now know that they aren't for me... I'll never submit my quilts for contests etc... I'll just enjoy what I do...
