NO! Why are you comparing yourself to what others can do? My friend has a beautiful voice and sings in a choir. I sound more like a coyote howling at the moon. BUT I still like music, and I still belt it out in the shower.
The nice thing about a BOM is that YOU do the work for YOURSELF. You don't have to swap or even share if you don't want to. The other nice thing about a BOM is that they usually build skills and you can learn new techniques and improve.
Why would you deprive yourself of that learning tool?
For every quilter at every level on this QB (or in "real quity world) there is a quilter who knows less or is yet untried in many techniques/methods. When you talk of giving up, what message are you sending to the newbies?
SO NO! I bet your work is really good and you are just being your own worst quilt police.
