I guess each quilt I have always made rather it be for myself of someone else each have their own story. It could be the fabric line or pattern or room its going or personality of the person or favortite book or anything. I think we all tend to be more harsh on ourselves then others. I tell myself if I am putting 100% plus into everything I am doing then its my best. The best thing with creating something.........is everything added to the quilt adds character. And usually these spots in a quilt are only noticed by you and not others. So just be happy and enjoy every minute creating your quilt and you will love it in the end.
