I am a much happier quilter now that I have found my "close enough" level. I was taught by a perfectionist, and had a couple of projects that landed in the trash can, until I realized I don't care if every single seam matches exactly. So, embrace your mistakes as a learning experience and move on.
That's exactly the place that I am now. But I do try to avoid as much as possible and coverup what I can't avoid.
