I am a perfectionist. I drive myself crazy sometimes. It really depends on who the quilt is being made for. If it is a gift, there is little room for error. If it's for me, I try to cut myself slack. I see huge mistakes that aren't there, as in my point or seams don't match...perfectly. Missing by 2-3 thread widths is OK. STID wavers a bit...OK. I just always want to keep improving and not get complacent.
