It's good for everything.

Bex0289 said, Don't be scared.

I was so scared of it not being perfect.

My first quilt is still my favorite.

I put so much love and attention into every bit that I don't care if pieces aren't necessarily turned right or you can see the stitches.

I love it, says Bex.

That was her first quilt.

Mary Moreshead said, "'Remember that no one will ever look at your quilt as closely as you do.

If a small mistake can't be noticed at arm's length, it's totally fine.

Also, that's how the people can tell the quilt wasn't made by a robot.'"

Zandra says, "'Don't believe the quilt police.

If you can't see a mistake from across the room, it's good enough.

And if you can, you can always say it was a design choice.'"

Nancy Axe says, "'There are no quilt police.

Be fearless.

Don't overthink.'"

And I'm going to add that if someone is a quilt police, they suck.

Ignore them."

Mariah Ramsey says, don't obsess too hard over getting everything square and perfect.

Imperfections in your craft show that you're human and you took a bit out of your finite time on this earth to make something nice for someone you care about, which is existential and I like it.
