Margaret, I am so glad perfect isn't part of quilting! I have become the Queen of a Little Off and How to Fake It! You are a very creative person with all the crafts and art you have done in the past and quilting is a great place to forge your own way. Let yourself go and have some fun! Absolutely any problem you have with quilting, you can ask a question and someone will share with you how to fix it.
Blessings,
Blessings,

Your work is lovely and really creative! It would be a real shame for you to stop quilting. Someone on this board coined a phrase, "Looks perfect from the back of a galloping horse." I think part of why I have so many UFO's is there is always a promise of perfection when you start. I aim at the perfection target but don't usually even come close. The nicest part is that after your done the errors don't seem so glaring.

It sure sounds like you want to continue quilting to me - I would enjoy it and do the best you can. I am in the same boat as you and was glad to see I am not the only one 61 and my quilts are off a lot too. I seem to be better at hand quilting. Only thing is I am still working and trying to fit in the quilting. Enjoy yourself and have fun! The Quilting Board is very helpful and you also get inspired with new ideas.
