Ok....hold on a second....ever take a close look at those "Walmart, made in China" quilts??? I bought several and cut them up and made drapes for my room, my living room and my girls room from them. Without exception, they had mistakes in them....points that didn't match, squares cut unevenly, and etc. You cannot purchase a "perfect" quilt even from Walmart.
But that aside, I agree with you....we are all too hard on ourselves, and give ourselves far too little credit for the "masterpieces" we create.....and every quilt we make, IMHO, is a masterpiece...because it is an expression of ourselves....and we are all masterpieces!! Just MHO
