You have recieved very wise and good advice. I think first make a few quilts for you. If you want to make some for the Quilt for Kids, there is a link here & you can contact them and they will send you the kit. Very worthy cause. It is a great feeling to do this. They will be appreciated & used. I am sure there are Charities in your area that would love donated quilts if that is your thing. I know how it feels to make a quilt for a gift & it not be loved or appreciated. But turn your cheek, hold your head high and get back to sewing. I made a few quilts I wanted to for me, and it felt wonderful! Sorry this is so long.
