Amen quilting is fun creative anmd enjoyable not perfecttttttttttt

Good to hear that.

what a great New year resolution!!!!!!

I follow this rule my quilting teacher taught me. "If you hang the quilt at the place next door, will you be able to see the flaws from your house?" I always think about this when quilting. Good advice to follow.

I agree Barb and believe we all our our worst critics. I think being stressed out over a wolf wall hanging did me it for one
day. No More. Lets all enjoy our projects.

I feel the same way about my mistakes. Another quilter said that there is no such thing as a perfect quilt.

God knows I do that without trying! always the intention is to have points and matched seams but sometimes there are more mistakes than I can put up with then reverse quilting is the order of the day.

I'm with you. The whole purpose is to make something that we enjoy and our family will treasue.

I have done the same thing - beating myself up over my quilting (or lack thereof) skills. My mom told me a saying from the Amish quilters - 'Only God is perfect' and in fact they make a point of having an imperfection in each and every quilt they do. So we gotta just love our work - warts and all!

you guys can say what you want...but if you are a perfectionist...you can't change that...I have read all the posts and I have said the same things..but at day's end I still have the same old habits..if I don't correct a error on my piecing or quilting it HAUNTS me...LOL
