My quilts will never measure up to those at the quilt shows. Some days I get depressed when I see all my "mistakes". I quilt for enjoyment, not perfection. I quilt to leave something behind (maybe) (for my great what ever they may be), to be used and saved in tatters, or displayed with honor. I have to do something with my hands, garden, quilt, rug braid, read, computer games, whatever.
