I agree with so many people on this board. I use to be a perfectionist, but I have learned to relax and let go. For project where I have applied my perfectionist mentality - well they languished and never got finished (or took forever to do so). I know consider all my quilts to be part of my quilting journey - the good, bad and sometimes ugly :)

I've learned to accept them, as myself - imperfect, flawed, but beautiful.

As mentioned before - I would rather my quilts were used and loved, than "too perfect" to use.

I really wish that I had a few hand crafted items from my grand mother (long since departed) - I wouldn't have cared how perfect/imperfect they were. I would just love something hand crafted with love.
