I can relate to what you say. I am so lucky that a beautiful new quilt shop opened up right here in my little town. The owners are a wonderful mother/daughter team and the whole place is first class. As I spoke with the Owner (mom) and we browsed the store together, I asked how she managed to get all the shop samples made. There were loads of quilts, pillows, etc all ready for the grand opening. She explained to me that she had hired many local guild members and sewing friends to make all the sample quilts hanging in the shop. On closer inspection, I saw quilt backs with the white selvage edge of the fabric running right up the middle, severely mismatched points, and stitch in the ditch sewing that went everywhere but the ditch. Please don't think I am being critical about others, because I am not. The first thought that came to my mind is that I would never have accepted that from myself. It would definitely be ripped out or tossed if all else failed, but I could never have displayed it. I am always beating myself up for perfection!
