I am still just learning but I love all the quilts I make. I told my friend who has to have everything perfect that I had decided my quilting is Crooked Line Quilting. Beware there are alot of fakes out there, if the lines are straight you have gotten a forgery. Just quilt for the enjoyment and not the perfection.

Perhaps you are too critical of yourself. I try only things I think I can do with my ability. The longer I quilt the better my ability gets, so I continually improve on the type of quilting projects I can do. Keep it up and you will continue to get better.

So go on and enjoy what you do. You've heard of the Quilt Police, haven't you? Those are folks who lurk in the darkness and try to drag everyone down to their mental level. Don't let them get you down.
GO on and make anything your heart desires, make it in flaming reds and oranges if that makes you happy. Make it in just plain black with black thread through it if it makes YOU happy.
You'll feel good when you make what you like, when you like, for whom you like, and be sure to make yourself something to love. That's what WE"RE here for, to learn and help others learn.

Thank you everyone for the encouragment. I intend to keep on keeping on because I love it. I guess it is ok to make wonky quilts...kids dont notice lol.
I love Ramona's idea...thinking maybe the black fabric and black thread might hide all my mistakes...it made me smile TY :)

I looked at some of your interests. I also do charity quilting and know the quilts I give get used and loved. I know some of the perfect ones are never touched outside of being art. I'd like to have some that show off skills, but not at the expense of feeling they are used.
