I think that the common thread we ALL share is our enjoyment of the time we get to spend working on our quilts. The best thing about quilting that I have learned is there is room for EVERYONE under this big, beautiful, colorful tent called quilting. Even those of us who lose points, have clean sewing rooms, and are in search of the elusive scant 1/4" seam!
Sounds to me like you are a true quilter - just like everyone else on thie board!
