Even ugly quilts are warm.
I read that in a quilt book once a long time ago, took it to heart, and after I stopped trying to make a perfect quilt and started enjoying quilting.
Just the other day, I FMQ'd a quilt for the first time. I commented to my mother how the quilting along the outside edge was pretty bad. She thought I was complaining, until I explained that the quilting in the center where I started was horrible, so I was getting better!
