Don't be discouraged! We do all get that way sometimes over various things we're having trouble with, but stay with it. You should see some of my first quilts! But I just laugh and say that they were my "learning quilts." You can't learn everything all at once anyway, so make a goal to learn a few things at a time.
Check your tv schedule; there are several quilt programs offered. Check at your grocery store or Wal-Mart; they have magazines to teach various things at differing levels of quilting. Check eBay to see if you can win a good basic book on quilting.
Join a quilt guild. Best of wishes to you!
