i understand where you're coming from! music teachers seek perfection from their students - i worked on one simple song for an entire school year. Name of the song? Nobody knows de trouble I've seen! And i still don't like it!
Anyway, when i started quilting, I was a perfectionist, then had the opportunity to be a quilt angel one year at the Houston Show. I never seen so many thread tails on quilts in my life! Now i relax and enjoy myself! It's a whole lot more fun now!!!!
So, my suggestion? Take a deep breath, relax and don't worry about those other quilters!! Have yourself some fun, girlfriend
