I'm a perfectionist too, although not such an experienced quilter as you, so in quilting I'm a perfectionist to the level that my skills will permit! And maybe you just haven't focused on the 'problems' in these photos - but I think it's beautiful, and obviously so do your husband and the dog! All's well that ends well. :)Janice / Dancing with Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646734271197959581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-55311974702496356942014-04-13T20:45:32.506-04:002014-04-13T20:45:32.506-04:00loved your last 2 posts!

I had to laugh when you got to the part about your husband claiming the quilt. The exact same thing happened to me. I'd finished a quilt top that just didn't work - in fact, I thought it was so bad that I called it my UGLY quilt. I proceeded to back it with some fabric that I didn't really like, thinking the dogs would still appreciate it. When the quilt was completed, my husband saw it and LOVED it ...and now, my ugliest quilt ever is in our living room and I see it all the time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17719297443535549397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-14412463287403455582014-04-08T19:47:23.705-04:002014-04-08T19:47:23.705-04:00Came across your blog by accident and the first th...Came across your blog by accident and the first thing I thought was, "Oh, what a gorgeous quilt!"

I learn something new about myself every time I work on a new quilt/project, and it is refreshing to see that others do as well. :) Sometimes the quilts take on a life of their own no matter how hard we try to change or "fix" them...this one was meant to look EXACTLY the way it does.
