Being one of those native Californians that grew up in a car culture, I have the 35 miles per hour rule: Drive by the quilt at 35 mph, if you can't see a problem, it's OK! :lol:
I also had one of those "AH-HA!" moments at the L.A. County Fair one year. Wandering around & looking at the quilts, I saw a single Irish chain quilt, and many of the points didn't match. It had a ribbon on it. Even tho' I do still do some reverse stitching when my corners don't match, I just don't obsess on it so much any more. Life is so much better! :D
