As a quilter, I have never dreamed of perfect quilts, just finished long term hugs from me to my favorite people. I do have a cute "perfect" imperfect quilt story for you. One of the members here wanted to try and copy an old family heirloom quilt to use everyday, to save the original to pass on. I offered to make her a pattern, and she agreed. I spent two weeks studying the photo of the original, and noticed that the original maker had put two rows in backwards, so, hoping to be helpful, I corrected the error on the pattern and sent it to her and told her I had "fixed" the mistake. She messaged back as politely as possible that she had wanted it exactly the way the old one was! I just smiled to my self and spent two more weeks redoing the pattern to reflect the "perfect" heirloom she had. Makes you feel kind of embarrassed/arrogant for having made it "better" when the family loves the original enough to want it copied exactly. Mea culpa......
