I think your quilting sounds great! To quilt for relaxation, the joy of quilting, and as a creative outlet is perfect! I'm like you: I quilt for fun, relaxation, and a creative outlet. I don't sew perfectly. I even don't correct mistakes if they are barely noticable. I make projects the way I like them rather than some posh, hotsy, totsy way. I try to buy fabrics I like that seem to be decent quality, at the best price possible. Don't compare yourself to any other quilter. It doesn't matter what reasons others quilt for, or if some of them want to spend a lot of money on the coolest, most expensive toys. What matters is that you enjoy what you're doing!
