I am a 2...not sure how good a 3 I would be. The clutter and mess drive me crazy....I'm an organizer. In ways, I'd like to be a 1, but if/when I do make a mistake, if it's not too noticable, I can over look it. Sometimes I wish I could be a 3....I prefer a little more structure tho. Can't seem to get into the "scrapy" look. Surely could use up a lot of "left-overs" if I could do this. LOL

Absolutely 2&3! I can mess up anything, but after taking it apart to fix, finally 'get it' and then have a good time! If it isn't fun, why bother?

At housework I've become a #3 as I've gotten older and realized dust wouldn't kill me and my hubby doesn't care as long as I'm happy. At work I've always believed in giving my best so there I'm a #1. I'm a #2 for neatness in my sewing room, but any mistakes I make in my crafts always scream at me until I fix them so I guess I"m a #1 with my craft stuff, I don't feel nervous about it but there's such a feeling of satisfaction when I finally get it right.

1. very serious, no mistakes allowed

2. Like to do the best I can on quilting but I can live with a mistake or two

3. whatever, I can't find the floor but I found enough scraps to start a quilt.

2 or 3 sure not 1 LOL

Probably a 1 trying to be a 2. I'm learning.

I am a 2 and 3. If I were a 1 I would have to quit sewing.

#2. I teach classes with a friend, and one of the things we tell the ladies in class is "we quilt because we want to , not because we need to". Enjoy yourselves.

It depends on the quilt. If it's one that I want to enter into a competition than I strive for 1. Otherwise, I am more of a 2. I kind of have an unwritten rule that I will not "unsew" the same seam more than twice. The 3rd time is good (no matter if it is or not).
