I was in your boat, driving me crazy to match seams and points. I posted here, and I recieved a lot of reply's, about if you can't see it from a galloping horse don't worry. Well, all of the positive posts got me back in the quilting mood. I am very happy with the way it is going together now

I think we have all done this. Now when I use the quilts that I have made, I don't even notice my uneven seems. I still would like them to be perfect though!

I was told "if you can't see it on a galloping horse, it's not worth ripping out" So lay the piece down, gallop by & if you can't see it, don't worry about it![/quote]
So THAT is what is meant by a galloping horse in quilting!!!! Thanks so much! |
OK inspired by everyone, I did not glue the last two rows and I used only ONE pin per intersection. I did walk the machine over it but it wasn't too bad. I guess. Anyway all of them came out fine except one was less than 1/8" off...AND I LEFT IT. I didn't rip it out. yay! I need to put the borders on and then I'm DONE with this top! And I can start working on my Christmas projects.

Within reason, I think we should worry about having fun and being happy with what we are doing without the stress we can put on ourselves - the lass who posted the note on here about 'near enough is good enough' has the right attitude, in my opinion. Have fun and enjoy.

I got to a hard place on the quilt I'm working on and ended up using the 1/4" tape on some of the seams. But I only took one block apart (had to, there was hole in the corner!) :!:

relax and dont be so harsh on yourself, i was told by a 86 year old quilter , that has been quilting many many years that there is no such thing as the perfect made quilt
