I must admit, that I'm getting frustrated with perfection
#132
I could never get anything done when I tried for perfection. Now I just do it all for fun and pleasure and I have lots of checked off things on my to do list. What I do notice though is that as I keep going my skills are improving. So without stressing I'm actually getting closer and closer to what is considered perfection. =)
And like many others here...I have memories and quilt tops from my grandma..who did NOT do it perfect. I even have some of her cardboard and sandpaper templates. But I treasure her quilts above all.

stress is bad for your health... do your best and strive for IMPROVEMENT not perfection...
Do Not judge your work against others who may have more developed skill.
Ask questions from the board

be proud of your work...

I don't have all the up-to-date gidgy-gadgets. I do the best I can with what I have and that is good enough for me. If somebody doesn't like it cause it isn't perfect, I feel sorry for them cause nothing in life is perfect and they are doomed to be disappointed.

I agree! I have quilted for several years because I enjoyed it and because it is an artistic outlet. After reading many of the posts it appears that I have been going at it all wrong - I should be quilting for perfection. And just whose idea of perfection is up for grabs. Think I'll just continue to quilt because it is my artistic outlet.
