Moonrise: Very creative idea!

Grinch: I thought about doing EPP as well but I already have 2 EPP projects going so decided that was enough. Enjoy the process!

Here's my Jan 1st HST. Stayed in the 30s all day so two teal fabrics. It was fun perusing my 2" and 2.5" square stash for the right fabrics. Since I am trying to use up scraps - I am not allowing myself to cut any new fabric for this quilt. Unless of course I run out of a color, which I seriously doubt will happen.

Dilemma, My thermometer is sitting between 29 and 30. Snow dyeing does not allow for purple(my 20s) and Yellow(my 30s) to be nearby. So this patch is going to be Purple with a yellowish green...wish I had an easy way to post pictures. That only works on my husbands computer, and he isn't ready for another 365 anything. Just finished the Australian one. So glad this is one patch, not one square!!

Love this idea. Perfect for me as I get back into quilting. I went out and got some fabric today. I will probably need more in the red family. I think it is going to be a red quilt. I'm going to do 2X5 pieces split with the top the high and the bottom the low. I'm not getting fancy since I'm just getting back into quilting.

I've been thinking about something like this (my original idea was to do my work schedule, which is pretty crazy so would make an interesting-ish quilt).

I like the idea of a temperature quilt though. I might do a log-cabin quilt, but it would be one huge log cabin block. I think it would end at about 91x91" if I did 1" wide strips (or would that require 1/2"... too tired to do math right now)? The center square would be January 1, but for high/low temps would either be two rectangles or a hst. I don't know, I might have to map it out to see if I would like it.

We get from the single digits (I don't think I've seen negative numbers for a few years) to well over 100. I think I'd switch to flames at > 115, rather than just a color...

Can no longer edit my upper post, but I think I figured out it would be 1" finished strips (so strips cut 1 1/2" wide).

This is a neat idea. I am saving it for later.
However, what really grabbed me was your temperature range. Sounds good to me. Wonder if I could get my crew to move west. ?!?!?

Imanna, I love your first square!

I am still planning in my head, but I am starting with half hexagons (high and low temps) and sewing them together to represent each day. I haven't decided how I will put them together yet. I am excited about this project. I will hopefully learn a new technique and also use up some scraps. I don't plan to purchase any fabric for this quilt - we will see how that goes.

I decided I will do two half square triangle blocks per day. Each one will have a black triangle and the other triangle will represent the temps for the day. I'm planning on a high column and a low column for each month, so my quilt will be 24 columns across and 31 rows with 2.25" finished squares, so it should finish up at around 54" x 69" or so. Months with less than 31 days will be extended with HSTs that use white in place of a color.
Will be shopping my stash of very pale batiks for the colored portions of the squares.

Jan 2nd HST done and sewed to my Jan 1st HST. This one is Teal and Purple. Looking at the forecast for the next week or so I might need to add another temp range (< 20 degrees). YIKES. We didn't get below 20 degrees at all last year. If it does happen I think I'll use black. But then I cannot use black for the sashing in between my months. Decisions, decisions.

Earlier today i read this thread and then went about other things but in the back of my mind I kept thinking about this idea. Finally came back here and decided to give it a go. I don't know just how to make my blocks and layout but I'm in. Now off to do more thinking.
