I have yet to see a perfect quilt anywhere. You can always find something wrong with any of them (more than one something with mine). I feel quilts are made to be used, not just admired. Keep up the good work!

LOL, mine will never be good enough for quilt show, they are barely good enough for general use, but I sure do enjoy the process. Saves my sanity.

Lol, mine are never perfect either, but i sure enjoy working on them!

On one of the first quilts I made, I was off just a touch on my cutting and just a touch on my sewing which made some of my block off a inch when I sewed them together. My niece still loved her quilt. I have gotten better at my cutting and sewing, but I don't really care if the blocks are off some. I just trim them down and sew it together anyway. I'm not perfect, so none of my quilts will be either.

I also want my quilts to be used and loved. What I have noticed is that every quilt I make is a good exercise in learning something. Keep going and you may find that you taste changes over time like I did. I still like scrap quilts though and simple patterns really please me with lots and lots of different fabrics. One of the things I love about this craft is it's diversity so everyone can find some aspect that they enjoy be it the maker or the observer.

I love your feelings about quilts. That's the way I feel. I have one quilt I made for my daughter and she packed it away. It was a T shirt quilt and she wants to save it. All my other quilts are used and loved and that's the way I want it.

As far as I'am concerned you can join the rest of us anytime. Not one person on this board can claim an absolutely perfect quilt. Don't ever think your work is not worthy. I have never put a quilt in a show and I'am always breaking the rules when it comes to quilting. Only one person needs to be happy with what you are doing, that is YOU! Can't wait to see your pictures.

I'm with you blanket maker! I love sewing the tops, but they always have flaws and the backs are never tight. No one else seems to care so neither do I :). I usually make all mine with someone in mind so I say a little prayer for them while I'm stitching. I think I enjoy them more than the recipients.

Love your ideas about your blankies. Welcome to the site.

I have a lot of blankets. :lol: But I think if the top is more than one whole fabric piece--it's a quilt. It's not a perfection thing--it's a fabric thing.

Your post was so cute. Thanks for the giggle. :lol:
