Most of the time, my piecing is excellent (but never without some seam ripping and re-do). Once in a while I get involved in a "lulu" that won't cooperate no matter how many filthy names I call it.
My hand quilting is satisfactory to me ... now ... after many thousands of practice stitches!
My machine quilting pretty much sucks. I've done some machine quilting that is not disgusting or laughable, but it's always an "iffey" thing.
Bottom line: the people who get my quilt gifts sincerely love them. So, I've accomplished 2 things: satisfying my creative urges and making someone happy with getting a quilt gift (or is it gift quilt? or is it quift?).
