I did a log cabin quilt - I was so proud of it - it looked so good - and then someone told me I had done it wrong - it hurt my feelings, but I thought - well, you do yours your way - I did mine my way and life goes on!!! and I gave the quilt as a gift, and my nephew and his new wife love it - it is the first and only quilt they have and have used it for lounging aroudn in the winter time, and on their bed, and wrapped up in it when they were sick, and just needed extra warmth; see? it does not have to be perfect, to be usable and what's better? I did not have a pattern - I looked at one already made and went by it - and then I'm told it was wrong - well, then there are at least two quilts wrong in this world!!! :D
