Go for excellence, not perfection. Excellence is attainable, but perfectionism stunts growth.

Sometimes it's the people you'll never meet who appreciate your quilts the most. Keep making quilts for the love of quilting and the comfort of others.
I love your "go for excellence, not perfection. Excellence is attainable, but perfectionism stunts growth." I want to use it on a placard if you don't mind--both my DIL & one g-son have some perfectionism issues.
