Sounds like a Quilt Police lecture to me. Bah, humbug!
I have patience up to a point, then I have to walk away and chew on it a while. I love geometry - was the easiest math class for me and it has helped in my quilting when I want to do my own patterns. Precise? Oh sure, that's why my rag quilts have little puckers on the back side. (Sigh...)
