Several people I know think I am crazy. One of my first quilts had four borders, one of which was 1/4" wide. I was mitering the corners, and matching the print in one of the borders. I ripped that baby off three times before I was happy with it. And this was a queen size quilt. All this to say, I tend to be a perfectionist. My mom, a home ec. teacher, taught me to sew. If a zipper was not right, I had to rip it out, and resew until I got it right. And one of those projects was a hand-sewn zipper! (before invisible zippers)
I now teach basic quilting. I have relaxed a little, seeing the fun of others as they learn to quilt. No way will I put on them the weight of perfectionism, and end their joy in completing a quilt! Yes, I teach technique, and we try to match corners, etc.
But the joy of finishing a quilt and seeing someone snuggled in the result of your work far outweighs the need for perfectionism for me.
All this to say, I go for 'cozy quilter' when I teach.
(Sometimes I still get picky with myself :oops: )
