I have good news for you. I use to want everything perfect. Like Fat Chance....I have learned that if something is tooooo perfect it shows the imperfections quick. So I will share my secret. When you decide on a design to quilt, choose one that has a variation in it. That way it will look natural. Remember it is normal for everyone to start measuring with their eye if it is all the same size. I just learned that if your design is square you do a rounded quilting design -- likewise if it is round you do a sqare or straight line design to pop it out. I think it goes back to the normal eye measuring and if you break that by the opposite you give yourself and everyone else a place to play and enjoy with your eye. Give yourself a break and enjoy. The next one is the masterpiece. The last one is the masterpiece to everyone else.
