I have always made color decisions from at least 15 feet away from the fabrics. This has led to some very questionable looks from guild members who see the fabric up close but when I display it at show and tell they can't believe it's the same quilt. I don't let small mistakes get me down like I use to. I thought everyone was looking at the mistake. I found out they weren't and also they didn't care or know enough to call it a mistake. I get so much peace from every part of the quilt process and that is all that is important enough to keep perfect.
