Used to feel that way too but not anymore. Had to sit myself down and figure out exactly what I was after when quilting and discovered, for me personally, I wasn't interested in winning any contests with super fancy work. It was fine for others and loved to admire their workmanship but, for me, I preferred utilitarian quilts...not because it required less work but because I enjoyed the simplicity of it. I still put a lot of care into each one, square up each block, choose pretty color combos and receive many compliments when completed but I don't sweat a mistake or two because they are meant to be used.
