Just enjoy the process, stop trying so hard. Relax and enjoy what you have accomplished.
I've always thought putting a "deliberate" mistake in a quilt was a strange custom - I always manage to put one in without trying!
Quote from usewgirl:
SOME DAYS (LIKE TODAY) I FEEL THIS EXACT SAME WAY ABOUT BEING A MOTHER AND WHEN MY CHILDREN (AGES 17 TO 36)DRIVE ME TO THIS POINT, I TURN TO THE QUILTING BOARD AND ADMIRE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DONE OR FEEL SOME OF MY FABRIC AND DREAM OF ANOTHER QUILT I WILL SOMEDAY START.
Add in the husband, other relatives, pets, and house.
