I sometimes think I have just looked at the material to long and by the time I am done, I think it's ok,but not breathtaking by anymeans. Is this common? Your thoughts might help me get a handle on my thinking! Thanks!
Are you talking about making quilt tops, or the actual quilting? I had a discussion with my sister just the other day on this very topic. She sends her tops to me for quilting, since I have a mid-arm quilting machine on a frame. She is thrilled with the work I do, but as I'm quilting, I see the flaws, and wish I was as good as some I've seen. She insists I'm too hard on myself. The last quilt I quilted was for myself, and I was terribly disappointed in how it was turning out, until I took it off the frame and applied the binding. Off the frame it didn't look so bad after all!
You're probably doing better than you think.
