    yes, you are being what we all are - our own worst critic. There is a saying, I think someone here uses it at the end of their postings "finished is better than perfect".

    I think that if it bothers you so much that it keeps you up at night, then change it. Otherwise, listen to your husband, he gives good advice!!

    Follow the 10 foot rule. If you can't see the "error" at 10 feet, keep going.

    Agree with husband! My newest saying is "Close Enough".

    God does not make quilts. He sent us to do it, knowing we were all far from perfect. Enjoy the process. Again, straight lines do not make a quilt any warmer!

    He's right. Even when being judged, meeting - up can be off by a stitch and still be classified OK.It is the overall appearance that counts and better luck next time.
