You may be an addict, but aren't we ALL ?? I know I AM !
I still have to fight that "perfectionist" tendency too, even after quilting for 25 yrs. I used to hate to cut into my pretties, then I thought "WHAT am I waiting for, do I want this to end up in a garage sale one day ?" ... and remember, there is ALWAYS MORE FABRIC out there !!

There are NO perfect quilts ... even the big quilt show winners have some flaw, some mistake ... known only to their makers. The Amish and other 1800's quilters used to intentionally put a "mistake" block in their quilts ... they believed it was vanity to try to make a "perfect quilt".
Take a new class at your LQS, and join a group ... seeing other quilts IN PERSON and sharing great ideas is the best motivation ! Good Luck
