Quilting is my "therapy" time. Although I am a perfectionist by nature, I have really adjusted my way of thinking about what is important in a quilt.....and perfectionism is not important. It is the love that goes into each one of them. Please don't fret over the 1/4" seams, fancy machines or which way to iron, those are just not important in the big scheme of things. Enjoy your break from caretaking and sew to your heart's content.
