I make used quilts. If all the points match, bonus! If not, I don't point out to anyone the ones that don't and think about how I can improve that step the next time. Well, my DH gets to listen to all my woes, but he understands. :)
My goal in quilting is to enjoy the process and to keep learning. I am totally blown away by the talent around me here, but you don't intimidate me. ;-)
My DH gets to hear all my woes, too, but he was the one to tell me not to point out all the boo-boos to other people--especially the recipient! And he's right. I made a quilt for my daughter for Christmas, and I completely messed up the binding, but she didn't know, and I didn't tell her, and she was absolutely thrilled with it. I do try to improve, and realize that improvement will come with practice, so I just plan to keep practicing...which means buying more fabric!
