I'm a cozy quilter too.
I want to be proud of what I do, but I also don't want to get wrapped around an axis over 'pefection'. Once a top has been pieced, quilted & bound most people just see the finished project and don't 'inspect' it w/the same critical eye that we do while we're making it. Would it be nice to win a blue ribbon or some kind of award? Sure. But is that why I quilt? No. I am one of those people that no matter how hard I try, nothing I make is PERFECT. I've decided I'm ok w/that. I like to think that everything I do IS perfect - perfectly imperfect *giggles*
