I try to be as close to perfect as I can. That's just me, and though it makes for fewer quilts, when I go to shows I think to myself "Wow I can do as good! Sometimes, I could do better than that!" which shows that perfection isn't a prerequisite to entering a show, that hundreds or thousands of people will look at your quilt even if it's not perfect and love it. I have never entered in a show and probably won't but to me that's an honor to be selected. I try to keep my mouth shut when I give a quilt, not point out the imperfection that jumps out at me. I never have had anybody say anything, but I would NEVER say anything if I was given a quilt so...Maybe as I get older I won't be so picky. I can only hope
