2017 Temperature Quilt

I'm tracking mine in Excel although it has not been necessary yet. So far I have been working on mine every day but I don't expect that will continue for the entire year. I will admit it does feel good to get into the sewing room for 10-15 minutes every day for just a tiny bit of "me" time. My DH has been interested in the process. It is supposed to hit 50 tomorrow and this morning he was asking me if that meant a new color in my quilt. It does !

I'm using something called "Past weather in Richmond, Va" it's on a web page labelled "timeanddate.com". I found it using Google search. It's a little bit of a pain to use so I may switch over to NOAA as suggested by Rogue quilter.
For keeping track--I set up a notebook. Since I went ahead and pulled all the fabrics I will be using from my stash, I set up the first page as a key, with a description of the colors and all the fabrics that I am using for each temperature range. Then I noted a general description of the quilt (HSTs) and a chart of the general layout.
The 2nd page is for January- I've noted the high and low for each day and what color I'm using.
Will try to get time to post pics tomorrow.

At first I was looking up the previous day's weather each morning and noting it on a calendar. Then I discovered that on weather.com there is a "Monthly" bar that when clicked on shows all previous readings for that month so far. So you could wait till the end of the week or month to jot them down. ;-)

Here's how I'm keeping up with the temps and weather ... just a simple chart in a notebook. I look on Weather Underground, and write down the forecast 2 or 3 days in advance, then adjust it to the actual temps for each day if the forecast turns out to be off a smidge. The check marks indicate that I've made both blocks for that day (I'm making 2 quilts).

I'm just looking at my own thermometer on the back of the house. If I will not be home during the warmest part, I delegate to my husband who I think is making it up. We are in the mountains where every area experiences slightly different weather. Will try to post tomorrow.
