are you being too perfect? quilting isnt a dayjob, its a way to have a piece of your life where you can release your creative flow - maybe quilting isnt for you in this way, but most people need some way to get thru the day and "get out of themselves" . You should give yourself a chance and maybe go slower, just do the parts of quilting in half hr chunks, like cut pieces, or plan on paper, or pull stash for color. Thats why most quilters have rooms set aside to work in, you can just let everything sit where you laid it down and close the door, you can walk in for a few mins any time you get the whim or time and do a little more, you refesh you brain and soul this way.
also, dont beat yourself up if you make a "mistake" piecing, go w/ the flow and rework from there, sometimes some of the biggest mistakes turn into the most beautiful quilts, sharet
