Oh, I so understand how you feel! I have only been quilting about 3 years and my DH says I'm wa-a-ay too critical of myself. But I did have a little encouragement this weekend that sent me back to my sewing room today with a better attitude. I was watching a Fons and Porter show on tv this weekend and they were displaying a quilt done by someone else. I spotted several spots that didn't line up perfectly and boy did that ever make me feel better! I have several projects that could appear on their show! My darling DH goes with me to quilt shows and he's always pointing out to me the little imperfections he spots. So, I think we both need to learn to use that "galloping horse"test Krisb mentioned above!
