Default First Block

Couldn't wait to get started! Like the previous post I have some things starting up in January and don't want to fall behind. Here is my first block. Boy, those pieces are tiny to work with, aren't they? I'm machine piecing the ones that I can, otherwise I'd use the silk thread that others have used. Using a silk covered cotton in the machine. Any other recommendations for a thread for the machine? I used a scant 1/4" seam and pressed carefully at every step. Saw someone recommend the 3 step pressing process and used her idea - I do think it helped!!

Thanks, Gus, for organizing this!!
