"<BR/><BR/>For one, I don't think we see the extent of wobbliness in other's work. We see our own work up close and memorize every error, every make-do, every ripped stitch. <BR/><BR/>Second, we have an image in our mind of the quilt we started out to make. The actual product doesn't live up to the imagined perfection. When we look at other's quilts, we don't necessarily have that standard to compare it to, unless it was a quilt kit. <BR/><BR/>I guess if your teacups were from, say, a Jenny Beyer design, we'd all be looking at it sideways and clucking over how far "off" your blocks are. But the design is uniquely yours, and the result is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Happy 4th!Sassenachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901658957162167373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1152012840887477872006-07-04T07:34:00.000-04:002006-07-04T07:34:00.000-04:00Just amazing Tonya, I love both teapots.

Thanks for all the step-by-step instruction, you're very good at expressing the details. Love your quilts and how you've evolved over the years. I remember when you were working on the miniature pink hearts quilt in the 90's....you stressed so much about it, but again, I still really love it, don't be too critical of your work, chalk it up to experience and move on. At least that's what I do and it's worked for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1151996886025483152006-07-04T03:08:00.000-04:002006-07-04T03:08:00.000-04:00Tonya , You are so talented!!I really want to make...Tonya , You are so talented!!<BR/>I really want to make a day a real tonya quilt !!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993337841578012623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1151982533499317412006-07-03T23:08:00.000-04:002006-07-03T23:08:00.000-04:00THe teapots look great.

The tutorial is very clear in that I can see how it is possible to make almost anything using this method. As long as you can break it into parts, the sky's the limit!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1151980663959125832006-07-03T22:37:00.000-04:002006-07-03T22:37:00.000-04:00VERY cute!!!

I love wonkiness in others' work, but I'm struggling right now with a piece of mine that I intended to be kind of crooked. Is it too crooked? Not enough? I guess we all need to relax.
