Because the lady who got me interested was a stickler for everything being perfect and used all the "right" tools I always felt really inadeguate when I looked at my stash or tools. She would only use the very best in quilting fabric and I could not afford that. Thanks to all of you who have helped me see that a quilt made with love (even if it doesn't last 100 yrs.) is better than not making a quilt. My grandchildren are waiting for their own quilt and I'm sure they will love it. I'd rather they use it up than put it away and never look at it. Perfect has it's own set of problems!
