🧵 Placement beats perfection.
This quilt is one of my favourite examples of what happens when you stop worrying about whether every motif is perfectly centred and start asking a much better question:
Does this make me happy?
Some fussy cuts are beautifully centred.
Some are accidentally upside down.
Some are cropped.
Some are tiny little surprises you only notice when you get close.
And then Raylee - quilter, teacher came along and added another whole layer of play with the quilting. 🩷
That’s the bit I love most about patchwork — there isn’t one “correct” way to use a print.
Move it around. Turn it. Crop it. Put the weird bit in the middle.
If it makes you smile, you did it right. 😍
The goal isn’t approval.
The goal is to have fun making something you love.
