I hold does it make me happy? am I finding joy making this? then its good to go. I get a bit paranoid when I make some items for some people and find I would rather not gift to someone who is that particular. You know the type, the one who notices if you have a tiny spot on your.. if the glasses are not totally spotless.. my son is like this. He is heck of hard for me to make things for. This Christmas I spent three times the normal making his girlfriend an apron. She is not picky. But he was going to be going over it with a fine tooth comb.. are the seams even? (go buy one you dork).. etc.. so for me I like good, when I get great I get a real high but other than removing a seam or two to make blocks line up a bit better I have no issue cutting down all the blocks 1/8th an inch so they match at all even if its not now a standard size block.
