We all seem to be our own worst critics! My BFF has turned out some fabulous quilts that I truly marvel at. To me she is so talented I envy her. One day we were talking about quilting, and she told me how she strives to make quilts like I do! She thinks mine are far and away better than hers. We got together, with a few quilts, and showed each other their flaws, imperfections, and had a good laugh. We both are really critical in our own work. We talked a lot about using that session as a wake-up call to just relax and really enjoy the process. I still struggle with my perception of what it should be, rather than being OK with what it is. I try to avoid quilts with squares, because no matter how carefully I cut, things don't line up without fudging!
