    I just finished a quilt top, and I find that all I can see are my mistakes. Is that the way we all are? The top really looks good, and I am not fishing for compliments, but I am wondering. Do I ever get to a point where I don't see my mistakes right off and can look at the quilt immediately and appreciate it?

    I see all my mistakes first too, so you are not alone there. I find that if I put away the quilt, then look at it again, I can admire the quilt itself and not necessarily the mistakes. And you may not be fishing, but I am biting, it is a very pretty quilt!!

    It looks absolutely lovely! I can't see any mistakes. I am not sure about the others but I know that I 'see' my mistakes no matter how little (as in millimetres) they may be because I know they are there! Sorry I wish I had better news!! :lol: :lol:

    I think your Quilt is marvelous. A friend of mine once said if it looks good from a galluping horse then it is perfect. Since then I don't see mistakes just perfection. I love your quilt. Hope you get to loving it soon. :)
