    Me, I strive for perfection, but am totally happy with improvement. It is a learning process and as long as I keep trying, I will keep improving.

    Yes, we are our own judges and juries. Perhaps we should impose our own sentences. Set up a scale and fine ourselves accordingly. Place a fine collection jar where we could pay-up when we judged ourselves as offenders. The fine money would be used for something specific, such as batting for a QOV or or other donation quilt.

    The quilt police may leave us alone if we impose such a system. However, in my case, I may soon deplete my available funds for fabric acquisition.

    We probably do, but I hate that, at guild meetings, there is total silence when some people show their finished products. Or just a lukewarm, "oh, that's nice." It is important that we offer encouragement. Say something positive!

    I totally agree with you. I know where all the tiny glitches are, a point that is off just a smidgen. I'm beginning to agree with a friend who says if you can't see it from a galloping horse, don't worry about it, no one will see it when you consider the whole.

    Well said!! I'm trying to NOT critique my own work as much either. I guess it's one of the reasons that I don't post very many pics on here. I love to look at everyone else's creations, but I'm very hard on my own. I'll strive to do better next year.

    I agree. We are our own worst critics.
