This popped up on my email and I thought it was great for this topic thread!
Celia's Words of Wisdom
from Janet Wickell
Celia's tip is so true. The fun of quilting is in the doing and the sharing.

Quilting Tip of the Day
From Celia Hirschenhofer: My favorite quilting tip is this quote:
Finished is better than perfect.

When I first started quilting, I worried the poor quilt to death trying to get a perfect quarter inch on every seam, and to make every point so sharp it could hurt you. I created lots and lots of UFOs and missed out on the fun of making something for someone I love. I printed the quote and put it over the sewing machine. Now I have quilts that are beautiful and loved instead of UFOs that are sad and lonely.


from me
good tip... I still think it's ok to have 2-4 projects going at the same time, or assembly line style of same block (I like to do that, especially good for learning something new). The discipline is to limit it to that and keep finishing one before starting a new one. That quote really is a good reminder.
