Just today I was thinking about what a perfectionist I am but how imperfect my cutting and sewing is. I'm making a day/night quilt and I did lots of ripping to try to get all of those points to meet - they should look okay from that galloping horse! Then today I was cutting wide strips for the backing - a five strip backing at widths of 10", 13", and 17". That seemed easy enough but even with the double ruler method and being very careful when cutting they are not perfect like I wanted them. Years ago I saw Sally Collins on Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson. Sally is an amazing piecer - I won't ever reach her level. I wish I could though. :-)
