Like them to be colorful? yes. Pretty? yes. Most of the colors coordinate? yes. most of the corners match? yes Are these useful items ? yes
But Really... Will this matter in a 100yrs? no. will this help my stress level to be perfect? no Would I have as much fun with it? No What's that song "Don't worry be Happy" so Happy Quilting !! :) |
I am my own worst critic,if it doesn't look right to me I rip it out and start over. Wish I wasn't that way it gets really stressful.As I am new to quilting.

Yep, I stay sane that way and less stressed.
Not how I used to be. Was too perfect and never got anything done. Lots of projects, few finished. Stopped that a long time ago. Life is too short. |

I am pretty much a "good enough" quilter but I think the longer you quilt and the more you do the "good enough" grows into more perfect automatically!
|
Good enough is GOOD ENOUGH for me. I occasionally have a quilt that I take real pains to make it almost perfect, but for quilts for the grandkids and greats, good enough is good enough. I expect them to USE the quilts. I'd rather they be loved than perfect.
|
I agree with Melinda.
|
I use to stress over mistakes, taking them out many times. Then I saw a program on the Amish women making quilts, they say only GOD can make something perfect. When I saw that I developed that train of thought and started enjoying my work.
The only time a quilt needs to be absolutely is if it's in a judged show, so don't stress over errors and enjoy what you are doing. |
If its for myself ,its good enough.If I am making a gift or selling I try to do the best I can.
|
Oh yes . Especially with quilt tops I made years ago and am just now quilting. If it stays together it "good enough".
If it is for me I don't stress. However I have learned others think these "not quite good enoughs" are wonderful. But then none of my friends sew or quilt. hehe!!! but if I am doing something to sell it will be as perfect as I can get it. I try to make it the way I would want to see something for sale. |
