After looking at pictures of temperature quilts, I decided that I wanted something original.
So, I personalized my temp quilt! I collected highs and lows starting with my birthdate. Then, each year until 2020. This made 60 blocks, so I arranged them in 6 equal columns (decades), with 10 "dates" each. Larger squares are the highs, and middle squares are the lows. The temperatures were amazingly diverse!
I used all 3 machines!
- My old reliable Bernina to piece together
- My new sit down longarm to quilt
- My new Bernette to embroider the binding-First project!! using her
Along the top: I labeled each decade
Along the right edge: I created the color key-darker shade for upper temps, lighter for lows
Along the left edge: I placed the day
Along the bottom: I didn't know what to add, so I added my name.
To secure the rest of the binding, I serpentine stitched between info.
And, I like the fabric on the backside!
