Summer Learning Progress Report

I have about half of the blocks made for the Schnibbles project and have learned a few things already, none of which are directly about the Schnibble experience:  (a) just because a fabric is pretty and makes nice 5" squares doesn't mean it will make nice 2" squares; (b) pinked edges are not my friends; (c) contrast can be harder than I'd thought.  But I press on and will get this Schnibble finished!

As to another of my summer projects, learning to do freezer paper applique, I've painlessly (other than the thumb incident!) completed two of the thirty blocks and look forward with pleasure to finishing the remaining ones as a travel-or-television project.  I don't think I'm going to convert into any kind of prodigious applique maven, but it is something I might do again.

Last night I finished binding Argyle, Anyone? and had hoped to take a photograph of her today.  But -- praise God -- it is raining and so that will need to wait another day or so.

Haven't done anything with the paper piecing goal as yet.  But there are at least another five weeks of summer left, aren't there?
