Lots of good advice here. I'll repeat: find a simple pattern, use fabrics you love, research each step by book or the web, work slowly and savor correctness in each step. Remember, no beautiful quilt was ever done in a day. And, if you would go get a job, there would be days of frustration and things going wrong there too. That is life. Most of us here would love to have two new machines and a longarm to indulge in a hobby... Also, leave it for a time. Do something by hand, plant a plant, read up on quilting, take a different tack. Good Luck!
