I just finished a baby quilt with pinwheels. Most things lined up but then I would have a seam that I just could not accept. But then others were "close enough".

Since I am bored, I decided to figure out my personal measurement of variance--the close enough factor. The amount a seam or point can be off that I wont rip out.

Turns out I am very consistent. I went through the current quilt which is pretty much my standard and measured every intersection that was not perfect. Like I most things lined up perfectly. But my eye says it can be off 1/16 of an inch. Anything more and Jack the Ripper comes out.

I just wondered if you all had a close enough factor?
