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 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.

What do you say when you want to say something "bad" - but want to maintain the illusion of sounding like a lady or gentleman?

Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
