    Way to hard on yourself, it is beautiful and if you are tiying at the corners no one will notice.

    it helps if you press seams on one row to the right and the next row to the left. but them together and pin, then stitch. good going so far.

    Yes, I agree with most of the others, you are being WAY too hard on yourself. If you need a magnifying glass to see the "flaw", it's really not a problem. Just try to relax and enjoy the process.

    Way too hard on yourself. Give the critic the boot and have fun with your quilt.

    If they are that close to being perfect? Your ties in the intersections will cover them up :wink:
    So no problem :D:D:D

    Looks good to me! That small a difference will be hidden by the tie at the intersection anyway, so why bother to redo?

    Yup I agree with everyone else, if I ripped out every time I was off by that little amount, I would have no finished tops. My very first quilt, I fudged on the seam allowances to make sure everything lined up perfectly, and now because of that it is coming apart at the seams (literally!). Since then I have learned that none of my quilts will ever be perfect, and I am cool with that. :)

    My favorite quote of all time is "Love is not in finding the perfect person, but learning to love an imperfect person perfectly." Maybe we could change that up for all our imperfect quilts .... "Love is not in making a perfect quilt, but loving an imperfect quilt perfectly." :) :) :)

    Cheers!

    It looks really good...don't worry about that liitle glitch. Many of us have done that.
