You make a good point about insecurity. I've always said, if you want to drive yourself nuts with striving for perfection that's fine, have at it. But let others have their own standards, even if they're not yours, and let them enjoy their own journey without raining on their parade. Applies to a lot of things, not just quilting.

Course if someone feels the need to inspect it and point them all out to me I obviously am speaking to someone who is so insecure they have to put someone elses work down to try and bring theirs up. With that aid- I'm sure their are those who would cringe at the thought of not doing it just so.
