Oh Gawd!!! Ive nearly 4 weeks of this to catch up on  :S

Its either that or tidy up the sewing/Art/Craft?wardrobe/Spare room upstairs ... and Im really dreading both
I wonder what will win out ???

We have had a high of 31 (only) here in DDD (on Tuesday) and it rained overnight and things are looking grey for today ... but I still need to fish out some red and dark orange!

Is that all?  37-38 degrees here today.

I don't envy you.  :S 
Late afternoon, I sat with the french door wide open and the curtains drawn, and there was a horrible hot breeze  :S  blowing across my feet.

The weather site has given me a high of 34 degrees for yesterday, so now I need to find a couple more colours.  :D  I've pinned my colours together for the month up to the 24th, and they're ever so colourful.  :)

@Iminei: which temperature is red for you?

Yesterday I had a UFO-day with friends and (after being in hospital with little Wolf for 4 hours) I spend 6h to my temperature quilt and I got a lot of work done  :D

Pics I can show after adding all hexagones and pressing

Looking good!

We're not going to be needing any more of the high 20's - 30 degrees colours, by the feel of the weather this week.  :(

Daughter said I should do another one next year.  0_0  I think that means that she likes it.

I added my August strips on yesterday.  :)





I can almost certainly pack away the high temp colours now. We won't be needing them again this year.  :(
Pity I haven't used some, and only one or two of some of the others, (from 26 degrees upwards.)

Thats lovely @Sandra  ... how big are your HST's ?

I laid out my 8 months worth on the bed yesterday and was shocked by how big they were?
 
I laid them out 3 across and they were already almost the length of the bed !!!

When I laid them out 4 across, they made a very generous drop off the sides of bed

Each one measures 23 1/2" across by 31" down and I wonder if Ive radically miscalculated ( @BrendaP  )

Ive got 4 more months to do!

I've used pre-cut jelly roll strips....so 2.5 inches tall triangles. Couldn't stop looking at the pretty Bali Pops, :loveit:  so used some of them.

I hadn't realised your blocks were that big  :S

Are you still thinking of doing yours two-sided? @Iminei

That was (a very good) suggestion from Brenda earlier this year but I keep thinking of trying to line the months up when I layer them and the extra cost for the material to flesh out the quilt etc
