I think one of the most important tips is: Allow yourself to be human -- you are. None of us are going to create a "perfect" quilt -- we are not perfect, never will be. We should always strive for excellence and do the very best job for which we're capable of doing -- there are a multitude of beautiful quilts which are excellent examples of doing the best possible job, but we're not perfect and never will be -- we're human and we will make mistakes -- correct them if you can, but forgive yourself for being human.
