I knew I didn't have the patience to make a block a day so I chose my year of birth.
Since that was back when dirt was new, I used three different weather sites to get all the dates, as all weren't complete.
I avoid buying fabric but as a total scrapper I had to for this project, so bought a 24 color ombre bundle of V and Company fabric which was perfect for the need. It was a strugle to make it work, but I charted the days, then charted some more and then some more, so the rare ranges had a 10 degree range, down to common temperatures having an 3 degree range .
I took my idea from someone else's full size quilt and made mine 40X40 for my loft rail. I love it. the 3 piece blocks are 1"x3" finished. I think I ended up needing 22 of the fabrics, with 44 shades from the ombres. And I started mine from date of birth or my first color is for October 28th weather

the very loast block is for my little sister, she was born on my 10th birthday.
