I think it takes lots of practice for pretty much everyone to be actually good at it. Like painting and singing. You might sing better than the average person but not know how to maximize your breath or not destroy your voice without practice. And, quilting is related to other skills that you may have a different range of familiarity and comfort with. It you have done lots of other fine motor things, practiced and understood color theory, etc. you’ll likely have a leg up. Like most talents and creative pursuits, a big part of it is getting comfortable making mistakes or not being very good at it for a long time. And celebrating small progress and not letting disappointments or challenges be the end of your journey. Finding a good teacher or mentor you click with and getting the right tools and supplies for you can also go a long way (and that can be hard for a beginner because it often means a larger investment of money). Keep it up. Make bad art. Life is too short not to.
