So far, I have not been too picky with my quilts. I am still learning, after 10 years!!, and am not making heirloom or show quilts. Most of my quilts have been gifts for the kids or grand-kids, and I don't even want to see what they have done with them!! Dogs and cats and kids are not gentle! And when I made "our" quilt, my sewing machine was acting up and I just thought it was the design trying to make me crazy. I am trying to make my points better, but maybe that is just not my thing! I don't rip out when quilting unless it is a big booboo. And so far, everybody has been happy with the results, so I guess I am doing okay!
