I'm only putting 90 on the front, and the rest are going to the back. I decided not to remake the "uglies," just relegate them to the other side. Your quilt is just gorgeous.Live a Colorful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258513987513144582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370653771155572902.post-10546095672537416042012-08-28T10:16:42.727-05:002012-08-28T10:16:42.727-05:00Opus indeed!!

While I am one to redo or think I could have done better, I now ask myself if I'm going to keep the quilt (very, very rarely) or donate it or gift it. If it's the last two, then I "try" to get over whatever ails me about the quilt and move on. But if the little beauty is going to be hanging around my house, there's no question! Follow your heart. From my perspective it looks fabulous. One commenter suggested moving the blocks to the edge so they have less friends to play with -- what an awesome suggestion.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370653771155572902.post-7156870834045937222012-08-27T12:15:47.493-05:002012-08-27T12:15:47.493-05:00Wow - this looks fantastic!!!!!

I notice that I'm being a perfectionist, step back, and ask myself, "How close to perfect does this really have to be?" Sometimes I decide that it doesn't really have to be perfectly perfect, and I just go on with whatever tiny flaw (that nobody else will ever notice) intact. Other times I say to myself, "Actually, I want to get this thing just exactly right," and then I rip out whatever I was going to rip out, redo it, and repeat as necessary, until stand back and look at the final result and beam with satisfaction.<br /><br />I do not recommend asking yourself The Question late at night. That always ends in tears.
