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.

If a block has only one piece and no angles lesser or greater than 90º, there's a 50/50 chance that I'll get it evenly sewn into the quilt top. :mrgreen:

Hahaha, that's me!! :thumbup:

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.

I think that is a little harsh.....
