With all the responses, I'm sure you've figured out that there are more "non-perfect" quilters than perfect quilters. Ha. Like so many others have said, I do my best ... and yes, I've ripped many a stitch and re-sewn ... made the same mistake and ripped again only because the error was too obvious. But in the end, I am happy with my results, imperfections and all. When you get stressed, walk away for awhile. Most of all, just enjoy the process. I'm self taught so I feel like I learn a little something each time I quilt which makes be a "better" quilter but never a "perfect" quilter. Have fun!
