I struggled with my very first quilt too.....it was a spiderweb star pattern. I took it apart several times, but was to stubborn to give up. Which was a good thing, if I had given up on it, I probably would have ditched quilting altogether. I agree with someone that said set them aside for now......you may just figure out what you were or were not doing that kept it from fitting. Sometimes I have to walk away and do work on a different one and then I go back to it and it's a "DUH" moment, when I figure it out and realize I was making it harder than it needed to be. Good luck with whatever you decide!
