Hmm...I think this sounds like border-line OCD? Quilting is an expression of colors blending, designs flowing, love blossoming into a warm attractive colorful 'blanket' to snuggle with. Mind you, I'm not a perfectionist at anything, I just love my artwork and let it flow naturally. If it's complicated, it isn't a hobby its a JOB! Some people pay another to place the borders onto their masterpieces - we all have a specialty we like or an area we dislike. I say if one isn't comfortable and stresses too much, what exactly is the point behind quilting?!
