I've never worried or obsessed about anything like that. It's like one of the celebrities at an awards show gave a lot of credit to the big guys and said everyone who worked on this project contributed in their own very meaningful way and without them it would have not become so important to all. So remember every little bit counts and always has.

I was a little haphazard in the beginning of my quilting journey, thinking that the seams don't really matter. Over time I learned that the BETTER I prepare and treat EVERY step of the process, the better the outcome (and the less rewor). So I understand what you are saying to a point, but the focus is (and should be) the finished quilt. You can honor the supporting staff (seams) by sewing and pressing them correctly.

Sorry I started all this. I was not really all that serious when I made this post. It crosses my mind from time to time, but I am not considering a smaller than 1/4 inch seam or anything like that. I guess I should have put an "LOL" at the end of my post.

On the other hand, I've taken pictures of some of my seams for my niece's quilt book so she understands what all goes into making a quilt. It all started the day I proudly showed her all my applique pieces carefully laid out on my design wall. She jumped up & down with delight and then asked with all the innocence of her 3 years on this earth "Auntie, can you finish it so I can take it home with me tonight?"

I am thankful my seam lines are hidden as sometimes my seam are not straight, sometimes you can see little holes where they have been sewn in and taken out several times and of course there are those that have lines sewn on top of lines when I have needed to correct a cooked line but just wasn't up to picking the crooked one out.

Thinking about unseen fabric seams would be right up there with fretting over a snowflake melting. Not a thought I'd give any value to. Odd thoughts cross my mind too.
