What a great term-cozy quilter! I think we are all our own worst critics. I try to be perfect, but never achieve "perfection" Even doctors are still practicing and they went to school for 10 years to be able to practice. everyone is an individual and has their own level of workmanship. i also doubt if my quilts will ever be in a quilt show and that's fine with me. I enjoy making them and giving them. If the recipient likes it that's a bonus!
