Wow, I think you are being hard on yourself and maybe that perfectionist gene is showing. What you did was great and I'm sure will only get better over time if that is what you can produce as a starter. Great work - really. I do think our eye gets used to seeing amazing work on this board and quilting done by longarm quilt machines. I still work on my home machine and the results aren't quite so fluid and perfect looking but still I get a quilt out of it.
