Put it down and take a break until you "Want" to do it again, you have the urgency to do it. I have only been quilting for 3 years, BUT I can say that it will get easier once you get the basics down. Also, this last top I have been fighting and finally got done, a lone star, had me reaching for that ugly seam ripper numerous times. Numerous times.
So there will be road blocks,but if you really enjoy it you will persevere and smile after that top is complete and know that you created that BEAUTY!!!
