I don't know if I will ever machine quilt anything, so far I have only practiced and am amazed how hard it is, stressful, not relaxing at all, for me. Do you need this quilt to be done by a certain date? If not, try to relax and enjoy the process. Have another project going (piecing or machine quilting) that gives you the feeling of getting something done quickly.
