I don't think I'm good at the quilting part either, so that's part of why I don't enjoy it.

I do all my own quilts, I can't afford to pay someone to have mine quilted for me.
Though I do have a quilt for my bed that when I get it put together I may finally send it out to be done.

Piecing - I always put off quilting in favor of piecing. For a while I dreamed of having a long arm thinking that would be a solution. But it's not gonna happen due to space and financial limitations. I felt guilty about sending them out. Then it occurred to me that I could send a whole lot of quilts to a LAQ for the amount I'd spend for a machine. So I've given myself permission to send them put.

Funny! You sound like me. We can look at the money we are saving by paying someone else to quilt instead of buying a long arm. Why, we're practically making money from this plan! :)

The part I dread most is deciding what pattern and fabric to use. Once I pass that hurdle, I enjoy piecing my "masterpiece" and then quilting it. I guess I am strange in that I actually enjoy sewing the binding on. I do almost everything by machine and just that little bit of hand work is a nice change of pace.
