I think the quilting pulls all the pieces together. So maybe it's not your favorite, but sometimes it's just too true that done is really better than perfect.

Let's just say that I don't like improv, and improv doesn't like me. I do think it's good to push ourselves outside our comfort zone, but then to remember that it was a stretch and to not be too hard on ourselves afterwards. It's a lovely finish despite the fact that you are not so over the moon about it.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890339482076523219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-78308273212056961542017-04-26T13:14:34.690-05:002017-04-26T13:14:34.690-05:00Yeah, the three little quilts I just finished were...Yeah, the three little quilts I just finished were all a bit "meh" on the quilting.
