I definitely do NOT have an artistic temperment. I also, like you said, can sort of wing this and that on my quilts but I cannot think up a brand new technique or pattern as the published quilters are able to do. That to me is artistic. Without finding a pattern that I like which was created by someone else, I cannot get started.
And so many of the people who I know (and who've have never made a quilt) tell me to turn it into a business. They don't have a clue. I'm very slow at getting a quilt done and none of my quilts would ever win a ribbon etc. There are minor things that others would "fix" but I don't. My quilts are good enough to be used and loved and dragged around by children etc. Not "business" quality but definitely "love" quality.
