Thank you for your post. Your words are inspiring. We can certainly be our own worst critics.

FMQ fear is very very real for me! It doesn't help that I have some medical issues that make it harder sometimes but the main problem is that I want it to be "perfect" and that's just not life. I love to quilt for small humans and my current project is a cute juvenile panel that I added borders to. I'm doing loops in the borders and outlining in the panel and I'm just doing the best I can with it and taking lots of breaks when I find myself stressing out over it. I try to keep reminding myself that the 3 year old recipient won't even notice the stitching but it's very hard to get past this idea that it has to look like something at a quilt show.
