Moan, groan, why did I ever say I'd do this?

Sorry, but this made me laugh! (Not in a nasty way). I suppose it's a case of 'all's well that ends well'. As I read the posts, I was going to say that probably you're your own worst critic and I'm happy to see this did indeed prove to be the case.
I used to tell students that, if I woke up in the morning and thought I wasn't going to learn something that day, I'd just roll over and face the wall. You've just gone to the top of the class, lol.
Congratulations on finishing it - I bet you feel great!

sort of cynical...but do many of the guild members send their quilts out to you and pay for your skills?
I ask this because one of the reasons I don't belong to the nearby guild is they want everything for free. The want to local shops to provide fabrics and batts for their money makers, but when they buy for themselves they go down to fabric depot in Portland or order online.
One year they got their free raffle quilt quilting and had to take every bit of it out. Then they washed it to remove all the holes and the fabric dye ran.
If someone doesn't support your work you owe them nothing.
But I admire you for carrying on and you probably learned a lot of lessons that will help with other big quilts.

Glad you got through it. If it makes you feel any better, it happens to all of us. I think it does. At least, it happens to me. It's things like this that have me thinking more and more that I should only quilt for myself. It's hard to say "No", though.
