get it perfect or get it done?


Last weekend I finished all 48 blocks of my postage stamp quilt....
I DID NOT use pins at the seams SO they do not all match perfectly!!...
SO I was in a turmoil...should I go back and redo some of them?...
I really need to get this finished....
I took photos of the blocks layed out on the floor...
trying to decide....

then yesterday I was reading the Daily Motivator by Ralph Marston...
about choosing between getting it done or getting it perfect...
I think this was meant for me to read...

two quotes from the article:
"By all means, let perfection be your goal. Just be sure not to let it become your excuse."
"Even if you can't get it perfect, go ahead and get it done."
And that is what I am doing....
I will go for the finish...
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

  2. Yes, what Bonnie said!! I really love the colors in your quilt. It looks like a bit of spring/summer and who couldn't use that right about now?

  3. I so agree with what you read.........the Amish believe only God is perfection and they purposely make a mistake in each quilt. I think they call it a humility block. I'm all for finished.....even if not perfect.
