You don't have to be perfect. also there are patterns that are way more fogiving. Maybe read books by Gwen Marston to get the fun back into quilting.

I heard she put a new book out that is very similar to the first book. I have a friend reading the book right now she had a similar complain about quilting. To me the meticulus aspect is calming and part I like but I could see it could bother also.
