I used to obsses, but realized I don't make "heirloom-just-look-and-be-careful-because-it's-not-washable " quilts, I make "curl-up-and-imagine-me-hugging-you" quilts. I make them because I enjoy the process and want to relax, not obsess. We live in an imperfect world, so should my quilts be any different? When I make one with someone in mind, I spend so much time thinking of them that maybe some of the seams may be off because I'm in such a hurry to give it to them to use. If the recipient starts getting picky about my workmanship, they don't deserve it and won't get another thing from me because they missed the whole point of the gift. I'm not saying I'm sloppy and really obvious mistakes go out, It's just that I think I am more into instant gratification rather than total perfection. (But I do envy those who can strive for perfection without loosing their minds.)
