O K I confess I'm a perfectionist and I thought everyone else was perfect except me. It makes me feel good that everyone else is not perfect, so now I can relax and just enjoy my quilt's uniqueness.
Also, I was told that the Amish purposely make a mistake in their quilts, because only God is perfect. Does anyone know if that is true or not?

I'm from NJ...used to go to Lancaster alot...even lived there for a year, and yes, that's the same thing I remember hearing about the Amish deliberately making a mistake in their quilts because only God is perfect. :thumbup:

You young kids ......... I passed 25 = 1/4 century
50 = l/2 century
75 = 3/4 century
78 and counting --
I AM GOING TO MAKE IT TO 100 = century
if I don't make too many more mistakes!
And if I make a few mistakes, it is not like I haven't mistepped before. That's how you know when you have done something worthwhile.
