I haven't read your other thread but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday! You are doing the right thing by continuing to GAL. It's great you spent a pleasant day yesterday with H and S. Piecing is a very slow process. Try not to have too many expectations. I've been Piecing for 7 months and there are many days where I am still struggling.
