Laugh at your mistakes, be thankful for the distance you've come, finish it up, be proud of it and use it. It can always serve as your ruler. You can measure how far you've progressed in your quilting. I finally set my first efforts together the other day and had to cut off all the bunny ear tabs, threads, etc. As I sewed it together I thought, "Man this is horrible. How could I have ever put these blocks together like this. Look at these HUGE 1/4" seams.(they were much closer to 3/8)" It didn't help that it was that really ugly BOM from Hancocks with the big appliqued basket block. But the funny thing was that once I got it together and laid it on a bed to photograph, it doesn't look half bad. Not nearly as ugly as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, it's still an ugly quilt but it just looks better than before.
And before you ask, I wanted to learn to quilt and it was the only thing that I knew of that was being offered at the time so I did it. :roll:
