We had gone to visit the daughter, and i had taken a couple star quilt blocks to work on while we were traveling. (of course my sewing machine had to go also) the little grandson had a melt down 1 time because he had spent an hr doing his homework, and come to find out it was all completely wrong. so with an engineer for a mom and a "tool and die" skilled tradesman for a dad, he is more than a perfectionist. and of course granny just could not bear it because the GS was so upset about having done his homework all wrong. that was when I " shared" with him all the mistakes i had made on this quilt as i was making it. and showed him that it all 'came out in the wash'. and so it went to him when i finished it. He just loves it, it is one of several he has of my quilts. and he remembers the 'story' about 'good enough'--- often.
