when is it good enough for you?
i am working on a quilt using jinny beyer fabrics.
i didn't take a whole long time staring at the paisley pattern seeing as i am making a couch throw for my aunt using one of the swoon block variations.
in the course of working with the fabric i have discovered that with patience and fussy cutting, i could have done all kinds of symmetrical flourishes and geometrical tricks with the prints.
but i didn't. and i don't especially regret it, because the person who is getting it will love it either way.
had i the time, patience and will this quilt could have been truly stellar. it's still lovely and pretty well made, though i've lost a couple of points.
i want to know how you decide it's good enough. does quilting perfection drive you? do you take out seams until everything is perfect or do you just prefer them done and move on?
quilting can always be more perfect, but done is in its own way an accomplishment.
what's your take on this balance?
