It was made with love and for a hearfelt reason, that's what really matters. Remember, only God is perfect.

It is the thouht and effort. No one would be that critical - it isn't a contest. You are generous to give it. I pray your niece will be alright

I don't think less than perfect is important. But I don't think I'd donate a used quilt, and from your original message, I can't tell whether you were pulling the quilt off the couch or not.

Let me give a different view. How would you feel if you won a "less than perfrect" quilt in raffle. When I say "less than perfect" I mean one with obvious errors in it's construction. You see, my view differs from other who have said "its the thought that counts.

I don't think I would donate a quilt I made for me. I would donate money if the people asking would not give me enough time to make a new quilt. Just my opinion.

Hugs and prayers for your sister's successful surgery and a quick recovery. I'm glad you sent the quilt.

Re "winning" a less than perfect quilt in an auction: you have a chance to see the items you are bidding on and, if it means that much to you that a quilt be perfect, I doubt you'd bid on it in the first place.

I have made many quilts and given many away. I don't consider all of mine perfect. Just made with love. It is the thought that counts.

I agree with everyone else. We are such critics of our own work. Where others see the beauty of it, we look for the imperfections. I think people will be generous in their bidding because you made it for your niece and she is who the fundraiser is for. My prayers are with your niece.

I think your a sweetheart and the quilt will just be so loved by whoever gets it. I hope everything goes well with your niece, that is what really is important.

It comes from your heart and nothing is perfect. My prayers go out to your niece for a sucessful surgery.
