I think that this is the key in life as well--not just about quilting.
When we want to learn something, we tend to find those who can support us and not just nitpick us to death.
Teachable people will be the most apt to teach as well since their spirit will be humble. We all need to be teachable--even the most experienced among us.
Probably the people who have the meanest spirit when it comes to being picky about quilting are probably like that in life about housekeeping, raising children, fixing dinner, etc.--extremely opinionated and speak freely on any given topic.
