Hi
It sounds like you like the ladies and want to learn to quilt. I would stick with it. concentrate on a smaller quilt or even cushions to build up your confidence. Use the other ladies to gain knowledge from - us quilters love to share what we know. One thing I have learnt from P&Q is to be patient.
Also BOM may not really be your thing and the next project might be more appealing.
Don't give up.
