Yea....and ever seen any of Picasso's work? If his paintings can be considered "great art", when to me they just look like child's paintings....or some of those "splatter" paintings (you know, the one where the artist just took a brush, dipped it in paint and flung it at the canvas)....well, if stuff like that is considered "great art" then why do we, as quilters, get soooooo bent out of shape about a point that doesn't match, or quilt stitches that aren't exactly even every single stitch????? Isn't the point of our quilting, our art, to express ourselves, to enjoy the process, to relax, to learn more about ourselves and our art????
If quilting is all about "one-up-manship" count me out.....I do this for me.....and if others are too enmeshed in themselves to not applaud me, even with my "mis-matched" points...then forget them...life is just tooooo dog-gone short.....and I have better things to do with my time than worry about them....
Way to go, pumpkinpatch, you keep going forward....and you will find that all your quilts are full of "wowiness" (love that word!) because they are an expression of you.... and that is wowy enough!!!!!!!!
