I think you are very normal !!! I don't handquilt, but I know I would if I did. I do plan to handquilt a small project someday.
I have done a lot of needlepoint and cross stitch over the years, and if I found a mistake, out went the row and surrounding areas, and I would do it over. I know I would do that with handquilting.
No wonder it took me several years to finish two (18x24) needlepoint projects of "Pinkie" by Thomas Lawrence, and "Blue Boy" by Thomas Gainsbourgh. I have them hanging on the wall by our staircase.
