When that happens to me I take off a few hours, and then realize that my mistakes is what makes the quilt a one of a kind. Think of yours the same way and know no one else even at a show will have made the quilt the same way you did. I like what I see. Be frustrated for a day, find a quiet place in yourself, and if you want, try it one more time. If not remember that makes that quilt one of a kind, which is always a good thing.

You move on, when you realise that only God makes perfect.
You move on, when you remember all the love that you have poured into the item you are makeing and the joy it will give to you and the reciever when its opened up and admired.
You move on, when another creation of love needs to be made and you have to concentrate on getting that little bit in the corner perfect

I have made so many wonderfull memories with items i have sewn together and shared the mistakes with the recievers just to show that i am not GOD but that i have continued to pour my prayers into the item because i have enjoyed the makeing and the giving.
I hope you will continue to "move on" for many more years and create projects that will bring smiles and tears of joy to those who are fortunate to be the recievers of that love.

I am artistic, not perfect - looks great to me!

I've ripped out until I reach a point when I realize that if I ripped out again, I would cry and put the project away and not finish it. Then, I realize - ok lighten up, quilting is supposed to be fun. :)

Those are the sweetest blocks, and it introduced me to the 10 minute block which I had never heard of before. Thanks so much!

I always have several things going at once. So when I get frustrated with one. I work on something else for a while. That's why I quilt just for myself - never on commission.

I love the block; how do you make it? I would love to know; Mariah.

To answer your question about when to quit worrying about it being not good enough and when to quit ripping; I made a 4-block Log Cabin Wall Hanging recently. Somehow, I got darks over onto the very edge of where the light should be. I hand quilted it that way, and never noticed.
When it was done and framed, of course, I saw it. I was going to take the entire thing apart. My friends said to leave it; "call it your humility block." So, that is what I did, and it is hanging in my front hall.
I think we sometimes expect too much of ourselves. I know I do!!
Mariah.

Your blocks are so cheerful and adorable!! They are beautiful.

I remember one little wall hanging I worked on the more I ripped and re-did the worse it seemed to get. Finally I fudged and it worked out OK. Years later when I look at it I don't even see where that spot was. The quilt will be loved in the end and that’s what matters. Enjoy the process. :-P

Love the blocks.
What is the pattern name? Sure would like to try that one more babies on the way here.
