Since I am only trying to spend 20 minutes a day on my old Civil War repro BOM project, I don't have enough to report to post very often, but I now have 10 blocks on my design wall, rather than the 7 I started with so I am making progress, even if very slow progress.
I was trying to do some of the piecing by hand, something else that slowed me down, but I  sewed some of the diagonal 
seams on my 9th block with my Pfaff so that block went together much more quickly, perhaps a bit TOO quickly...
I used to be very precise with my piecing, but  now feel that 
close is good enough, however that attitude unfortunately also seems to mean that I'm 
a bit too careless about sewing my blocks together since I sewed ANOTHER 
row wrong and I wasn't even moving from one sewing space to another.
I pieced the 10th block entirely by machine and didn't make any mistakes this time so perhaps I'm getting back into the swing of things, sure hope so since I have a lot more blocks to make in order to turn this into a twin sized quilt.
The 11th block is all cut out and ready to be sewn together, though, so the progress continues...


 
Nice job Sue, they are looking great!
