We are our own worst critics! I agree with the above poster. I do the same thing.
Just to share.....when I was visiting the AQS museum, there were 2 quilts that won major awards at AQS. One maker admitted missing hand quilting a motif in her quilt but she decided not to rip it apart and leave the quilt be. It won at AQS. Another quilt was machine quilted......I have seen the quilt several times and this time I noticed that she also missed quilting a motif in her quilt. She also won a major prize at AQS.
The above observations are not meant to be critical, but it was a light bulb moment for me. These quilts were spectacular but they were not perfect and that's ok. I have decided to quit being so critical of my work and enjoy the process. Also I am afraid to try some new things because it might not be perfect.
FYI.....I have been quilting for 20 years and I'm still working on changing my way of thinking. I'm hoping you don't torture yourself that long! lol
