Roberta, I suffered a cerebral vascular accident, (blood vessel in my brain blew) in 1990. I learned to quilt after that. The good news is with brain injuries you can continue to remember things at odd moments for years, other things you just figure a new way to accomplish. Do not give up, just set this UFO aside, and look for another quilt to try. When you go back to it (maybe in 6 mos.) the directions might find the old pathway to making it. I have found that sometimes just giving myself more time makes things click better. If you can't come up with the answer by next year, make a jelly roll race quilt using the YouTube videos and move on. Don't let what was depress you, just know that your new normal will bring you blessings and skills you never knew you had. I am sorry to hear you were hurt, but your new normal will have it's bright moments just like the old normal. Hugs.
