I try to always do my best, and take my time to get it right if the quilt is for a gift. However, my skills are not perfect, so I will live with small flaws. I know the person receiving the quilt will be looking at the 'big' picture, and will never know about those tiny imperfections. I consider it a learning opportunity, so that next time, perhaps, I won't make that mistake again. Even when I strive for perfection, I don't have what it takes to do a quilt for show. I don't let that bother me.
