Somewhere I heard that if you are looking for perfect in quilting, you will never get anything finished. I try to match but sometimes that doesn't work either. At the end of the day, what is the worst that is going to happen. Someone is going to love your finished quilt, not your UFO

Your blocks look great to me. I would say move on if it were mine. When I have a block that I just can't get right if I have at least 1/8" for a seam allowance I use it, I do stitch it twice. If anyone on the board thinks this is a bad idea please reply. I am still a newbie and have lots to learn.

I try for perfection BUT I do not sweat it, if the seams are imperfect.If I put something upside down or wrong other ways I will ripppeppppt

I agree totally with cathyvv. If it looks good without my glasses it is pretty darn near perfect. Your block is adorable and will make a precious quilt! Get busy!

I'm much less of a perfectionist than I used to be. Done is better than another UFO.

Love your blocks. They are so very pretty and I don't see a thing wrong with them.
