Please don't be discouraged. There is so much enjoyment, peace and satisfaction that comes from creating.
And... just because you're new, you're not alone... we are all new to something in quilting. There are so many different avenues we can take... and each is a learning process.
I actually enjoy the ironing part of it... followed by squaring and/or trimming. It just brings me closer to where I hope to end up... with a quilted creation.
Here you can get tons of information and input... and if you find someone who quilts... you will find their passion to share with you almost limitless.
