Then, while making the quilt picture in your mind a little boy running around his backyard with the quilt as a cape, or a little girl using the quilt as a tablecloth for her picnic. DO NOT think about your seams, if the colors are the right shade, etc. Relax and enjoy. That is what quilting is to me. If I attempted to make any of the quilts I've seen posted on here, I'd be on meds. Good luck, and check in with us in a couple of weeks.
This is great advice! Take a few weeks, relax, reflect and regroup. You have a lot invested, time and money, so you shouldn't give it up. Maybe you are expecting perfection of yourself; remember that none of us are perfect. And neither are our quilts.
