Sometimes I think we are just too hard on ourselves. I'm sure that your quilting has improved tremendously since you started. We just got home from holidays and visited a Quilt Museum (which was absolutely fabulous!!) The main thing I learned from visiting this wonderful exhibition is that I am far too hard on myself!! I saw mistakes in the quilts that were on display but the quilts were still absolutely amazing!! I think we need to be gentler on ourselves. Life is far too short to be so self-critical. If you are enjoying the process, it is worth it!! Relax and enjoy what you are doing - no quilt police allowed!!
