To me a perfect quilt is one that is completely finished, binding and all.

I've made easy, easy quilts where I didn't make any mistakes, but they were boring me to death. I think we need to learn when quilting. Now I'm making more intermediate quilts and find I make mistakes, but I don't mind ripping out pieces because I'm being challenged. Being bored making a quilt is the worst way to quilt. Challenge yourself and you will learn and enjoy through the whole process.

I took Craftsy free BOMs in 2012 and 2013 and I was learning paper piecing, which I was scared to death of trying. It wasn't hard and now it's my favorite way to sew. I learned each month on new blocks and was challenged. I looked forward to the beginning of the month and the new block it entailed.

I think I get lazy and make easy quilts just to have a quilt on hand to give away. Now I am not making very many, but they are teaching me so much. I don't want the perfect quilt. It would be boring.

I honestly believe that the perfect quilt has to be "The next one" I know I have said that after every quilt I have finished.

No perfect quilt, no perfect quilters! But all are unique and I am glad to be part of the group of "unique imperfects."

I like your lap quilt - very pretty! I certainly haven't made a perfect quilt yet and don't expect I ever will, though it would be nice. And sometimes I can obsess about small mistakes and just have to let it go.:p But it's fun, right? I do enjoy it.
