Every year I go to the Intern'l Quilt convention in Houston to look at all the wonderful.....PERFECT.......top quilts. I always breathe a sigh of relief that I decided long ago that quilting for me was for fun, not perfection. I love seeing what others spend their time doing, and I do get inspired with great ideas.
It is also interesting to me, that after a number of months, it is very hard to find the glaring mistakes I thought I had made on my quilts. They must not have been "that bad!" I like what vjengels said, "My standard is 'if it makes me happy, it's perfect.'"
