Two days ago, I showed my niece a small quilt I made that had 25 strips in it, plus a border. The story went like this - one of my first quilts. every piece was sewn wavy, and every piece had to be "un-sewn. That meant ripping out 50 wavy stitch lines.

She was working on her first quilt. Straight sewing isn't as easy as it looks, and my example was to show her that we make mistakes, the mistakes can be fixed, and sewing straight isn't as easy as it looks.

I heard her humming as she 'un-stitched' some of her work.

It's good to know that you don't have to be perfect - ever.
