For some... the strive to perfection is pleasant... it does build patience.. i have plenty of that.. but it is saved for being creative and coming up with something that is "totally mine, one of a kind".... i never wanted to join any group here or anywhere because of that... but this forum allows for people to be human and enjoys "creativity".... the whole "scant 1/4" thing is a contradiction of perfection... it either is or isn't 1/4".. LOL I just make is consistant, and whatever size block that makes... that's it... plus no need to worry about seams's ripping apart... I will NEVER enter a contest or get a ribbon... just want to be "Miss Congeniality".... LOL
