Dreaming, my suggestion is to try to decide the "what and why" of why YOU like to quilt. I do charity quilts, I quilt on my domestic machine and it's a lot of straight line quilting with my walking foot. I too have taken lots of Crafty classes and I have learned so much from them. My quilts will never be show-stoppers nor will they be in competitions, they will not be stretched out flat for the critical eye. They will be crumpled, wadded, and loved. That's why I quilt! I love to look at show quilts, I admire the work of the artisans, I marvel at their skills, but all of that will not keep me from feeling the satisfaction of making my own humble quilts. Hope you find your way back to the joy of quilting.
