I don't fret over it or even think about it. I make quilts.
I guess I’m boring. I make quilts, too. I have yet to make one without a mistake or ten. I do want my seams to match and my points to be pointy so I fix my mistakes. I think if you’re going to go to the expense and time to make a quilt you may as well do it as best you can. I have fun and a passion for sewing. I love it when a block goes together just right.
Back to the original topic, I agree that a lot of the quilting shows aren’t reality. I love Leah Day and Angela Walters because they demonstrate that they make mistakes; some they can live with...others not so much. It drives me nuts to watch Eleanor Burns vidéos where she throws her scraps on the floor. Somebody had to clean that up.
