You are doing great. I have done 2 quilts and working on my 3rd. One was queen size DWR, I worked on it 4-8 hours a day trying to get it done for a quilt show. The quilting took close to a year and the machine piecing took about 8 years (I worked on other projects when I got sick of piecing arcs). I also hand quilted my Vintage Moments (sorry...I can't remember how long that took). I'm working on a twin size now.....a remembrance of my Mom.
I have made many quilts and usually FMQ them on the machine. I only hand quilt special items. I really do like doing the handwork. It is when I get my zen (or inner peace) back.
Just enjoy the process and don't judge yourself!
