Oh, do NOT quit! So many options. AND you can do quilting economically. YES you can! You can recycle clothing from yard sales and thrift shops, hand-me-downs, etc. Old blankets can be used as batting or backing, fleece & flannel. You can recover old pot holders with your practice BOM squares same with your oven mits. Use flat sheets for your backing fabric on your quilts (I get mine from walmart $4.96 for a twin and some from the thrift stores). You could make your quilt tops into duvet covers, still using thrift store finds...like comforters. Sooooo many posibilities!!!
