This past weekend I went to a quilt show with maybe about 200+ quilts. I don't think I saw an ugly quilt. What I learned is that even beautiful quilts have stitch-in-the-ditch stitches that don't all stay 'in' the ditch, and other stitches that aren't perfect still make for a beautiful quilt. So... that means I can quilt; have fun; strive to always improve and still finish and enjoy my not-so-perfect quilts!!! LOL, but that is a big discovery for me.
