When I joined my quilt chapter I was stunned to see that the first thing the ladies do is turn over the quilt and look for boo boos and then are tickled pink to find them. They do rave and compliment my work which is nice but oh my. I never look for boo boos but I do look to see how they accomplish the things I may be having trouble with so I know who to go to for help if I can't get it figured out. I no longer point out my goofs. If they see them fine; if not, even better.

I figure if someone is looking for mistakes I shouldn't be showing it to them.
