I would agree, maybe you are attempting too hard of patterns if all this is still pretty new to you. Take a break, then try some real simple stuff, just do blocks even. They are good ways to practice, & that way, you are just doing one block & not a whole quilt. That way, you can learn what you like doing & what you don't, & also, if you are not ready to attempt that. Don't get rid of everything just yet. We all realize, as we get older, our tastes change. You may not want to quilt much right now, but down the road, you may wish you had kept all that stuff. Even if you decide to get a job, keep your quilting stuff, it may turn into your sanity later on, & it's cheaper than a shrink, trust me! Hope all our advice is helping!...Good luck!
