I quilt by the Pirate Code - " And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules."
My goal is to learn something from each project and enjoy the process.
I do have a few hard & fast safety related guidelines that I follow - closing rotary cutters and changing needles regularly. However, I also work barefoot, especially when stitching.
My hope is that my quilts, when finally finished, are pleasing to the eye and constructed well. Some mistakes I'll redo and others get left as is - it depends on if a mistake affects the overall quilt.
Cheers, K
