Please don't give up. I was the same and i'm a newbie. i've made 2 quits so far for my grandchildren. They arn't great but the kids love them. I started a dredan plate top which fingers crossed is not going to bad .. But i was still thinking of giving up when i found paper piecing. I love it. Why not give it a try. If u feel like giving up pm me and we can talk over our woes together.
