Pam, sorry you are having such a time with these quilts. Sounds like the kits, weren't great quality, and your blaming yourself way too much.
I always get stressed if I don't have that much time, to get something done.
Many years ago, I had a counselor, and he gave me a handout sheet.
It said, when you were stressed to imagine the worst thing that could happen,...in this same situation,...to your friend.
Then imagine, you telling the friend how to deal with this problem, and apply this to your real situation.
I can't tell you, how many times, it has helped me, to go ahead, and imagine, so what if worse comes to worst? what will I do. By knowing, what my plan B would be, it helps me calm down and get to work.
Btw, you are NOT a lousy quilter! I ruffle at you saying that about my friend, LOL! :wink: hugs, qc
