    I like Doug's philosophy a lot. I'm not a perfectionist and am happy about that, but I try my best to make a great looking quilt. I rarely have everything go perfectly, probably never is more accurate. But the good thing about quilting is that it's very forgiving once it's all quilted. I have had quilts I got upset over but then as time goes by I forget where there was a problem.
    I can't get all wrapped up in perfection!

    im Having trouble getting my face to face squares picture uploaded. I can visually see my seams are different allowances in the 18 squares I sewed yesterday. Next quilt I’m probably gonna baste the seams with a few drops of fabritack. I might use fabritack to baste the blocks as I assemble this quilt. Precision is equally important as repeatability

    You're absolutely right. On my first quilt (D9P in 2015), I had to put two of the same focus fabric really close to each other because that was the only way to make it work. I looked at it the other day and can't find where that "boo-boo" is.
