Beautiful blocks, Bibliostone. I don't keep track of time making blocks, either. I'm a fast sewer but choosing just the right block from my many books and online resources might take me days! It's the slowest part of the process for me. Once I have the plan, I can make the block pretty fast. The one I made that was paper pieced took longer to construct than the traditionally pieced ones, but that may be because I was rusty and hadn't PP'd in a while.
