I agree with sewingladydi, becoming involved with charity quilts might change your prespective. Sick and needy children or wounded soldiers would cherish every stich and separate fabric your personally chose, just for them. I've read about soliders dying and requesting their quilt be buried with them because of all the comfort it brought them. What better experience to chase your fears away.
Bless you & best wishes. Keep on quilting.
