The “galloping horse” theory doesn’t work for me because I am not looking at my quilts from a galloping horse. We each decide for ourselves what level of flaws we can live with.
To me, it would be sad if we didn’t continue to try our best with each piece we make.
This is my philosophy and rule of thumb, too.
Just last night I made a pieced heart and discovered I had sewn slightly over the bottom points, blunting them. I was tired and thought, "oh, well, it'll do." This morning I know I'm going to resew that seam.
