I totally agree with this statement. There may be someone that can and does make a perfect quilt but, I think feffertrimm is right in saying a lot of us are too hard on oursefves. My quilts will never look like some of yours even though I have done it longer than you but, I am happy if it turns out useable.
Quilting is like playing the piano, I know the basics of both and can get by nicely with what I do, however there are master pianist and there are master quilters. Whichever one you are just enjoy what you are doing and do not compete with others.
