Default Feeling like I've wasted so much time on this.

I can't figure out what has gone so terribly wrong. I haven't been quilting that long, but why aren't I getting better at it instead of worse? I usually pin base mine together and though my quilting skills are very beginnerish I have always managed to quilt something acceptable together. On this last one the back of it has puckers everywhere and I have just figured out the the quilt top really isn't flat enough to quit the way I wanted without making puckers on the front. I'm already done the stitch on the ditch part on the whole thing and it is just all to much to take out. I already took a bunch out once re pinbasted it and started over. I don't think the batting can handle it again. It is just awful. It's a chevron quilt. I've made one before and love the first one so much I made another. I think the biggest difference is that on the first one I cut every thing myself. This one I bought layer cakes and assumed everything was the same size and maybe it wasn't. That would explain the front, but not the back. And because its toward the end of the whole thing how many hours of my life have I wasted? First of all, I will never buy layer cakes again. And I think I need to consult utube again about how to pin baste. I really hate this quilt.

I should come on here more often instead of just when I have quilting problems.
