My theory is the day I make a perfect quilt is the day I will stop quilting, because where have I got to go after that? So it is my hope that I never make the perfect quilt as I never want to stop quilting!!! I know that some people don't want to see quilts with "mistakes" in a quilt store, but I personally would find it more depressing to see quilts that were perfection because I know I could never do that.
Whenever I finish a project and show it to my DH, he tells me how pretty it is. I then point out the mistakes. He then says "It is the little imperfections that tell you it is hand (Or home ) made.
