Has anyone else here ever noticed that there are even points that don't match on quilts in magazines. They are supposed to be done by professionals and even they don't get it done perfectly. As someone once said "I've never made a perfect quilt but I have had perfect areas on my quilt". If it's good enough then it's good enough!!

When I start! Don't be overly critical of yopur work. Complex pattern you selected to make? My plan of action is to alwys try a few blocks with some material you don't want to get some practice before moving on to the good material! It will save alot of fustration time.
I like your work so far and lok forward to seeing the finished work!

Every day when I look in the mirror! ROFL.



That's one of the reasons I quilt. I am a perfectionist and it is teaching me to let go of thing that are not in my control.
