As a retired art teacher, you are absolutely correct... the process (vs. product) is the key! throw in trying for perfection and you must have great looking quilts! BUT, if my students came to me and asked if their work was "Good enough", I asked them what did they think? and how could they make it better (in an area or two...) They usually went back and "edited or tweeked" the work a little bit more. Then they were "happy" to hand it in. Never failed! and they never did either!
