Yes, you are a quilter. Also do not be too hard on yourself putting the sandwhich together. Maybe tie one and with another one use a walking foot and stitch in the ditch. Step by step. It was very empowering for me to actually finnish my first quilt. I quilted it by stitching in the ditch with a walking foot. My daughter still sleeps under that quilt every night and has never complainted that one of her other sisters has gorgeous feathers quilted on it.
