Personally, I don't make mistakes. If the cookies are a little browner around the edges than you are accustomed to, I meant for them to be that way. If the cake sank in the middle, it's because I put in extra shortening to make the cake richer and really rich cakes fall. And if a quilt block is wonky, turned the wrong direction, is filled up with colors that don't quite go together or anything else, it is all part of my planned design--a conversation starter.
I agree that no one will be wiser--and if they are, they won't dare say anything. froggyintexas

This can get quite tricky.
Personally I never post my mistakes just to point at them. No way.
I either fix it or I don't but I won't point to it because it will probably bother
me too much specially if I don't intend to fix it. LOL
I prefer to keep quiet and nobody will be the wiser. ;-)

HAHA
I am the FIRST person to admit that I am not perfect. Since I DON'T
enter my quilts in contests I am not worried about them being perfect
either.
In my PERSONAL opinion any imperfection, goof up, or just plain crazy
is what gives each handmade item their own special uniqueness which
also says "I was handmade; not mass produced or store bought".
Of course like i said that is just my personal opinion.
As for posting pictures of flaws most of the time I don't see them at first
because I am looking at the uniqueness of the project.

Oh for pity's sake. Whining and venting are conversational genres in any community. Sometimes a booboo is so exasperating, and nobody in your real life circles quite understands why it makes any difference, so of course we're going to chat about it on a quilting board, with people who get it.
