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.
Good advise having another project going to give you that feeling of getting something done quickly.
I agree with these two. Set your goals on finishing partial sections of the large quilt, so that you are reaching a goal regularly. And work on a machine pieced quilt to have that satisfaction as well.
