Are you paper piecing? I started with pp then switched to templates because I had to draw my own pp patterns and it took so long. (This was before they were available on yahoo!) I got to the blocks with all the little HSTs and thought I'd lose my mind!! I think it was JanRN or Jadgsd who PM'd me and asked if I did pp. I switched to that, use the yahoo patterns and it is sooooooooo (add as many o's as you want) easier!!! Faster!!! Happier!!!!
