I have always been told that quilters make 'mistakes' to humble their quilts because nothing is perfect except God. So they make all their quilts 'humble'. Or maye their mistakes create a new pattern or a new look to the quilt pattern.
Most of mine are verrry humble, but I still enjoy them and so does the friends and family I 'gift' them to in the past. They are loved and used and I love that about my quilts. I am not perfect yet (at 75 years old) and not likely I will ever be perfect. Thank God neither is my dh, so our marriage has lasted almost 52 years and counting onward in life. Enjoy every day, find love and laughter to enrich your life. I enjoy quilting, never real serious about it and yes, I make mistakes. I will ask if I want help, otherwise just enjoy the fact the quilt is finished and rejoice that it is done.
