Bet it would take them a while.

If your quilting is perfect then it wouldn't be yours..someone once told me that. I find myself getting less critical of my quilting. After 25 years of quilting...I am still making mistakes and I am still learning. Since I have joined this group I have learned more then ever.

Quilting should be fun. In this century, we don't really need handmade quilts to keep us warm. You can poke fun at yourself if you strive for something more, but never let it stall your creativity or fun. Just create, have fun, and learn. If the end result makes you happy, yippee. If it doesn't, it will keep something beautifully warm or hang as a piece of art for someone that loves your vision. It might even serve as of reminder of where you started. If you're looking for perfection, you're going to have to make lots of quilts. Just send me your rejects!
