I don't know of anyone who's perfect, I don't worry about it. Quilting is supposed to be fun, not stressful, and we all get better the longer we quilt.

I agree I make plenty of mistakes. But they did deliberately made a mistake in the old days.

I can guarantee that 100% of my quilts would be considered Humility Quilts. No matter how hard I try, there is always some block, seam, stitch that is not "quite" right. Maybe I didn't make the right color choices with the fabric or my thread or method. So, I pick myself up and say: "Tonnie, get over yourself." ;)

LoL...I do enough "mistakes" on my own without really meaning to that I think that takes care of my "humility". If I ever finished a quilt without a mistake I don't know what I would do. =)

I made one a few years ago. It was one of my first quilts. I left my mistakes and added others. I called it "Maze of Frustration". Cause that is how I felt at the time.

I made one; first block I made a mistake and after I had the entire block together, I liked what I saw so finsished the quilt the same way. It was the double star quilt pattern and accidently placed two pieces wrong. THis is the result...

your quilt is beautiful and I don't see anything wrong with it! I guess it's more of a case of judging your own work more harshly than others!
and I was just wondering because I'd heard of this and it seemed silly to me because so many of my quilts are full of little (and not so little) mistakes! |
I've never DELIBERATELY made a mistake.
I make enough unintentionally. It's always struck me as arrogant to "intentionally" make a mistake. |
