I'm just curious but are you your own worst critic??? I know that no matter what I sew, craft, quilt, it's NEVER as good as someone else's. But I also think, I'm my worst critic and therefore, every little itty bitty flaw bothers me and therefore, it's not as good as someone else's who's flaws or imperfections, I NEVER see. Lighten up and enjoy the ride....quilting is a wonderful journey!!!
