:-( When I am making it do it right, But when I get it all done I see every little thing. But when no one can see them to me its like it has flags. I used to make some thing to ware an people loved it I could never ware it. Others would take them an they used them.
I just see every little thing do you all do this too? Or am I the only crazy one. :oops:

Nope, you're not the only crazy one!

I do the same thing, but I'm trying to not be so critical of my own work. Only the quilt police would ever notice our errors. I keep reminding myself that the object is to complete something, not attain perfection.

I know what you mean, but I agree with sewinglady and toucansam, it is only us who see the errors.
I guess seeing our mistakes just makes I us work harder to make the necessary adjustments to correct them. (kinda true about life too, funny how quilts and life have so much in common)

Very well said. Thank you. Did you see the quote Marcia has on her avatar. "Better finished that perfect" Words to live by.
I love that. I wrote it down and put on my wall by my sewing machine.
:-D :-D :-D

"Better Finish then Perfect" I love your saying. Going to try this.

Connie in Indiana 02-23-2010 06:29 AM

OH thank you I got to remember an will send a little note with my quilts that has that on them!
Better finished that perfect!!!!!!

Every quilter does that. But you need to adopt the "HORSE THEORY"

If you are on a galloping horse could you still see the mistakes?

I do the same thing. I get a quilt done, and then think, oh that should not be there, or I should have used a differnt color. It could drive you crazy.
