It is good that you decided to fix it. When I finish a project I can get very lazy about fixing my mistakes. <BR/><BR/>Purple and paisley finished her quilt with fabric wrong side out- that stinks too! I have a very hard time with printed whites. It is really a guessing game (in good sunlight) to what side is up or down.bettyninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374217999097706118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-61343169169197269582008-06-19T21:36:00.001-05:002008-06-19T21:36:00.001-05:00I'm new so quilting but I worry about this same th...I'm new so quilting but I worry about this same thing happening.

That is me in terms of misreading, reversing numbers and having such a hard time with typing/keyboarding or whatever you call it.<BR/>I have never made a quilt and I can certainly understand the need to be perfect, but, and but again, what you create is so beautiful. It may not be "perfect" as in machine perfect, but it has been made by and with your loving hands. It has been made with intention and I truly think, with gratefulness of what you see and feel in this world.<BR/>I may be so out of whack, but in a large part, I love my initial reading or misreading of your post: Seeing With My Eyes Closed...it conjures up so much..intention, love and just pure faith and joy.<BR/>I do believe and understand the perfection quest. <BR/>Sometimes and some days, I think that we should allow ourselves the privilege or right of "seeing with our eyes closed". <BR/>Forgive me for being so presumptive on your part. I am in awe of what you create. I just have these little moments now and then when I think we should all be kinder to ourselves.<BR/><BR/>best..e.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245099394863979981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-10142658800937191562008-06-18T22:08:00.000-05:002008-06-18T22:08:00.000-05:00That quilt is on my list to make as well.
