your blocks look wonderful, I wouldn't worry about "catching up" we're really each working at our own pace.
The two blocks you are showing here are actually the last I've been able to complete thus far. My sil invited me to come out this afternoon to sew for a couple hours. I think I'm going to take my fabrics and just cut several blocks. I know once I get them cut it will be easier for me to complete them.
