I figure that as long as I see improvements in the quilts that I'm making, at each stage of the process, I have to be happy with that. Otherwise I might just as well put my sewing machine away and give up.
Agreed! My first few quilts and even blocks on this last quilt were a mess because sewing 1/4 in seam was tricky!!
But! I finally found a system that is working for me and has improved my accuracy immensely but I still finished out those slightly wonky quilts and will use and love them.
Wavy borders, non matched points and all. ❤️
