From the author...
I've finished my latest manuscript with insights about the benefits of completion. As Leonard Cohen wrote: “ring the bells you still can ring / forget your perfect offering / everything has cracks / it’s how the light gets in.” Let the light in to your day with my latest words of encouragement. 
I think this can apply to us as quilters. We are always learning , though we can aim for perfection, we can never reach it . Beginners especially should not expect perfection on their very first project ,or even on their 2nd , or 3rd project . Leave the mistakes , accept them, learn from them , say thank you when complemented , don't point out your mistakes !
