I have caught up! just this last week of march to do. and I am "quilting as I go" so I will post a pic in April. It looks so bright & hot! I am doing it 3 months across and 4 down. and each mouth has 5 rows. the empty space in the 5th row, i have the average temp (max & Min) for that month, and on the back I have my colour chart and the temps for that colour.

I'm very intrigued with this idea but am still finishing my 365 so don't want to start a big project, but will definitely follow along to watch.

M-fay I'm in Victoria so will be very interested to see your temperature range and colour scheme for WA.

I have been keeping records of Highs and Lows. Choose a batik jelly roll and divided the colors and temps in 5 degree increments. I put each color in its own baggie with a sticky note indicating the temp. Then the process just sat on my sewing table. Well, yesterday I started on January and I like the results. I chose a super simple 2.5 cut for low and high, sew together. Then stack with day one on the bottom and move to the top. I think I will divide with narrow black strips. No photo yet. I will post when I get a couple of months ready for viewing.

Hi everyone! I just noticed this post and am thinking about putting the project on my "To Do" list". I said to my DH this morning, "Your wife is crazy'" He just smiles, like he already knows this. Well, I tell him about the Temperature Quilt project and that I'd like to do it. (that is, add it to the many other on-going projects I am "in the middle of, but not quite done yet"). Anyway, DH thinks it would be a fun project, and he had a few ideas about how to do it.
So, I may be joining you. I already went to the weather underground and have my temps to date. For the moment, I may just follow your postings and dream a little.

Deecee , My days are certainly warmer than yours, at the moment at least. but the cold is creeping in at night time.days are still beautiful and great to be out gardening.

Sometimes I think I am the only quilter who doesn't garden. I do spend two days a week at our all donation/volunteer library cultivating that collection. In three years we have grown to 10,000 items, and 670 borrowers. Patrons are good at bringing flowers for the desk, and offering homegrown remedies when I'm ill (let's not talk about the remedies...this is Northern California. I skipped being a hippie the first time..now I'm not brave enough to try new things.)

I just discovered this thread. The idea sounds crazy fun. I may start midyear and keep going to finish a year. Are those who are making HSTs using the color for the daily low and high temp in each HST? If you are using squares are you using just the high temp?
I need to get 4 quilts quilted and bound for our show in June, so I may not get to thi right away.

Plays, I plan to do two rolls, the top roll high temps, bottom row low temps for each month. 1will start with the 1st to the 31st. I will have 2 1/2" squares. In months without a date, I will place a gray square. In between each month will be a 2 1/2'" strip of black. (Not 100% sure of the black strips, still debating). I figure it will be about 62" by 72" without borders. So far I have my temperature color guide and have picked out 23 pieces fabric (from stash). This next week I will cut out all my squares and start sewing. I have the data of temps for Jan and Feb. at the end of this week I will copy the March date and start sewing, to catch up. In my mind it looks neat, I'll wait and see at the end of the year.

Hi Plays with color, Just scroll backwards to see what folk have been doing...I wish I had stayed with solids, and maybe an understandable relationship of color to temperature...well and maybe a more reasonable arrangement. But I am having fun!

Hi Plays with Color, I'm doing half square triangles with a colored triangle to denote temp and a black triangle to make it square. Two columns for each month, 1 for high temp and 1 for low temp. If I do it again, I'll be more careful picking colors for the temps, the ones I chose don't seem to be making as clear a statement on the temp. variations as I'd like. but it's giving me lots of practice with HSTs
