do not judge yourself by others. I am so slow that if i did judge myself by others I would have quit long ago. It takes me forever. I work as a nurse in the ER, attend classes to finish my BS, have a family, so quilting is done in my spare time. Sometimes I get to it once a week sometimes not. No matter how long it takes, it is thereapeutic for me. A great stress reliever. I get it done when it gets done. Keep on quilting and march to your own drummer. Good luck.
