Perfectly Imperfect

A good friend of mine was looking at one of my quilts and commented, "I love your attention to detail." which I'm pretty sure was a very nice way of saying "you are completely compulsive".  It's true, I am one of those obsessively organzied control freaks.  For me quilting is all about matched points and precision piecing.  This quilt has none of that!  There are a few tucks where I forced the Xs together, the quilting can best be described as "organic", and it's not quite square because I accidentally trimed one corner a 1/4" short in my excitement to finish it up.  And I'm OK with that. 

Becuase this quilt was made for this...

and this:-)  It's for chilly mornings at the lake and late night reading sessions.  I complained a lot about all that quilting but it gives it so much texture.  This is a quilt you can't help but cuddle up with. 

I ♥ this quilt and despite all it's flaws it definitely ranks as one of my all time favorite quilts I've made. I suspect it will be well loved for years to come and that's just perfect!
