Don’t worry about how long it takes!!! You are going just fine. The one in my picture took me three years to piece (by hand) I was working and back then (I made it about 15 years ago) and raising 4 kids! I would pick it up sometimes and not get more than a few stitches on the needle and have to put it down!! Just hang in and work a few minutes when you can and you will be surprised how fast it will go!
