If you want to see priceless quilts that are anything but perfect, google images for "Gee's Bend Quilts". These quilts are considered great works of art and command high prices.

OH MY GOODNESS those are SOOOO ugly!!! I can't imagine LOL :thumbdown: :lol:

HEAR! HEAR! HANDCRAFTED IS WHAT ITIS CALLED!

good girl , lifes to short as I have said many times before.

goo for you. I realized after a while that it was foolish to criticize yourself. After a while we all improve and if you are going to be so critical of yourself it takes the fun and relaxation out of quilting. I don't quilt to make myself tense and frustrated, I quilt because I love it and it is relaxing. We have enough tension and frustration in our lives. So girls since we all know we will never get totally caught up on ufo's and not stop shopping for fabric, make this your new year's resolution. To enjoy and relax with your quilting. It will bring you more fun and joy that way. :)
