quilting not for me
 

Do you have to be perfectionist to quilt? That's not me.

No. Only if you want to be competetive.
I am far from being a perfectionist. My motto is finished is better than perfect and the friends who get my quilts never see any errors, even though they are glaring to me.
If you enjoy your sewing, just do it. Remember, there are no quilt police, and we all improve as we go. Just enjoy it.

I'm a "kinda sorta person" and that's how I quilt. Although I seem to have some organization process. Pre-planning.

If a person needed to be a perfectionist to quilt, I could not quilt. I'm into quilting for the fun of it. Love the process from picking fabrics to the last stitch in the binding. I don't look for mistakes, just to the enjoyment of having something colorful and useful.

The beautiful thing about quilting is that it allows the maker free reign to do as they please I have never read anywhere that quilts must be perfect. Relax and enjoy the process, there are no quilt police.

You don’t have to be a perfectionist if you choose the right pattern. E.g. you would not choose a star pattern where the points come together. There are plenty of patterns out there for you.

If you can't see a error in the quilt when you're on a horse galloping by, it's all good. :)

Quilting is a personal journey. I look back on prior mistakes as a learning lesson and move on. I try to do my best with all projects. I have also learned to relax and enjoy the ride.

If you are "casual' about other areas in your life you will be 'casual' about being perfect in your quilting or other crafting. And, you will be happy with the outcome. You get to choose your own comfort level about sewing, cleaning, organization, etc. You are the only one who gets to choose. I hope you will enjoy sewing or quilting at whatever state of perfection or casualness that you are happy with. I enjoy that philosophy in my life.

Quilting is supposed to be fun. I don't know of any perfect quilters, actually I don't know of any perfect person. LOL If you're new to quilting and are concerned about it, don't worry, you'll get better. I've been quilting for about 15 years and have definitely improved over the years, but it's still not close to perfect.
