Oh please don't cry. And please continue, it'll be all right.
I got bored with practice after the second sandwich. So I started on a real quilt. Not a charity one either, but a "real" one that I love and use. It's here:

You can't even see in the photos how craggly my quilting lines are when you look at it up close.
Once I finished, bound and washed the quilt, it looked ok! At least to me. Not ok to the quilt police with a magnifiying glass, I'm sure... but I went straight on to my next quilt.
