The Opposition: Curved Piecing

Today, I finally decided to give curved piecing a whirl.  I.HATE.IT.  Not that I'm bad at it, but it's SO tedious.... and I don't like pinning.  I'll be so glad when I finish the two blocks I need to do with curved pieces.

Okay, rant over. Does anyone have any tips on making it easier, or is curved piecing just one of those things that we do?

Here's a photo of my "progress."
