I only wish my first one had been that good. My first one was dedicated to our doggers (as it only worked well bunched up).
Finish it up however it turns out as it will always be precious to you. |
Are you happy with it? If you are, then leave it alone but if you are not, then change it. This is the question another quilter asked me once when I had that same thing. I have thought of it many times since. Remember, there is never a perfect quilt.
|
My first quilt didn't match up very well. I remember looking back at it after I had finished a lot more quilts and seeing all the mistakes. But no one else noticed it! It just makes you better for the next quilts!
|
Remember....better finished than perfect!!!!
|
I always say 'if you want it perfect, ask someone else to do it and leave me out of it'. I agree, there is no such thing as a perfect quilt. Even Eleanor Burns shows her mistakes on her program.

You would lose miserably if you were to enter this quilt in this contest. If you want perfection then buy commercial. These little "enhancements" make them ours. Love it for all of it's facets. They are reflections of ourselves. Not quite perfect but beautiful none the less.

Oh heavens, let it go....you are the only one who is going to know about the 'mistakes'...the recipient will just love it as it is (even if it is YOU)
That galloping horse or racing train is the mantra to use when having fun making your quilts. warm quilt hugs, sue in CA |

So, am I being too critical of myself and should get over it and finish, or should I take apart and try to match up. Below is the exmples of my "mistakes" where the blocks do not meet. On the good side - I did learn a lot from making this quilt and it was the start of the quilts I now make. Thanks for any advice!! |
