I recommend you take a class on making a particular quilt. Once you have finished that quilt, if you cannot start another one on your own, sign up to take another class on making another type of quilt. If after the second quilt, you still fell uncertain about making another quilt on your own, hopefully you have met a friend or two at the previous quilting classes. If you have, just choose a pattern you like and call on your friends to make one with you.
Why do I know so much? I had the same problem and this is how I solved my problem. Good luck and I wish I lived near you and could join you.

I absolutely love handquilting. Picking out fabric and sewing the top together is pure torture for me. I actually often make my 17 year old son go with me to pick out fabrics that coordinate because it would take me a year to make a decision on fabric.
I love when I have everything all basted together and I know I have a quilting project for the next 4 months with no piecing to do!

The designing..graphing..cutting..piecing of it..is my favorite part..watching it come alive..lol !!! Then I agree..binding by hand makes me feel like I'm adding a personal touch to it.. I won the battle and it's done !! I actually dread the quilting part of it..lol..!!!
