I like the look of some of them but I don't think I would keep going for a whole year. 

Besides I'm starting to get ideas about making a quilt for GD's 21st birthday in April and thinking of the best way to incorporate 21 star blocks into it.

It would be fun to compare at the end of the year if a few people had a go.

Hmmmm....how about not disclosing exactly how we're making ours up until we've finished?

I've now got a special 'Temperature Quilt' notebook for me to write the temps down until I (possibly) get started.  ><

9c here today and I have made a note..... come on girls, you know you want to  :devil:
I've worked out my temp / colour chart so I have ore aqua rather than proper green
I'm definitely going to give it a go.

How many steps do you have I your temperature range?

I am defiantly in  :D

I've spent ages looking at how I could do this, and how many colours to include. We don't have a huge temperature range in this country do we?  ><
I think I've managed to get 11 different colours...pushing it to 14 colours if we have extreme weather this year.

I've gone in steps of 4 degrees temp between colour change. 5 degrees didn't quite give enough...I'm also looking at including both the day and night temps.

I like the ones with both high and low for the day. I sort of liked this one- each row is a month showing high & low. No idea why some of the rows are "blank" besides this possibly being a computer mock up. Other is Jan-July.

I got inspired for a totally unique take on it but doubt it will happen.

   
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

@Sakar  I haven't quite finalised my temperature range yet, but am probably looking at 3 or possibly 4 degree celcius steps.

I love the idea  :) but don't think I could commit to such a long project (which is sad  :'( ).

I'm going to use this in my lessons next term on internet safety.  You can never tell who people are on the internet.    I would never have believed that it would be Lowena leading us astray.

Not sure I will actually end up finding time to make this but I have ordered plenty of fabrics and started making notes.
