I, too, think you are comparing yourself to your ex's mom. Remember, the amish, who are probably the greatest quilters in the world, always have at least one mistake on their quilts. It is the humility block. That is what my mother always told me. She was a great quilter Also, remember, you are the only one that really knows about any mistakes. My mom also told me quilting is better than Prozac. So relax, enjoy and the rest will come.
