I have 20 something rip out hours in, some beards on the back side seams, it may not be square on one corner, there are some skip stitches in the quilting seams,
    And when it is finished I am going to show it with pride because I feel like there are 100's of us who have finished a quilt with imperfections and it makes us all feel better to know not everyones work turns out perfect every time. (I am still striving for my first time and I learn something on each quilt.)
    I do feel surrounded by people who care about the things we post. I love the Quiltingboard.

    Maybe I said it wrong. Its not that I don't fit in Its just that I think maybe we have a tendency to judge our own work harder and we see our faults where as other only see the one side . The side we want them to see.

    This is a beautiful quilt. Please show us your other ones too. How big is this & how old is your G-son? He's sure a lucky fellow to have a G-ma who loves him so much.

    How could you say that? Your quilt is beautiful, pattern, colors and quilting. Mine looks sick compared to your work. Show us more.
