Early in my quilting life, I heard or read somewhere that the Amish (who make absolutely wonderful quilts) always put a mistake into a quilt because "Only God is Perfect." Fortunately for me, I do not have to put in a mistake on purpose, as I can do that all by myself with no thought whatsoever. I've been told that I make beautiful quilts, which is a wonderful compliment; but what I think makes my quilts special is the love and care that I put into every quilt. I too cannot hand quilt because of arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, but I find machine quilting on my domestic sewing machine satisfies that creative process.
