Sorry to rant, just having a bit of a pity party! :oops:
Don't be so hard on yourself. Are you hand or machine? I'm only on my 2nd hand piecing/hand quilting project--a QS. It takes extra work but I mark each piece 1/4 from seam and quilt "in the shadow". It takes extra work but that way I only have to concontrate on getting my stitches even. It already looks 3 different people have been working on the quilt. A friend told me not to get discouraged because it takes practice, practice, practice.
Keep on quilting!
