I'm not criticizing my quilting skills anymore!

I follow this rule my quilting teacher taught me. "If you hang the quilt at the place next door, will you be able to see the flaws from your house?" I always think about this when quilting. Good advice to follow.

The thought behind that is tha no one is perect and to obtain that is trying to obtain the status of God (being perfect).

I have done the same thing - beating myself up over my quilting (or lack thereof) skills. My mom told me a saying from the Amish quilters - 'Only God is perfect' and in fact they make a point of having an imperfection in each and every quilt they do. So we gotta just love our work - warts and all!

you guys can say what you want...but if you are a perfectionist...you can't change that...I have read all the posts and I have said the same things..but at day's end I still have the same old habits..if I don't correct a error on my piecing or quilting it HAUNTS me...LOL
