This is a heads up to anyone wanting to join with us at any time during the year ( start your temperature count now, or use Accuweather data )
Accuweather link - Just enter your location and click on the monthly tab for previous temperaturesThe idea is to make a Temperature Quilt... or cushion... or placemats... or wallhanging... or anything really.
Take note of the daily temperature and align it with a colour ( your choice of how the steps are spaced, your choice of the colour range ). Construct the strips, squares, flying geese, rectangles or what ever you want to use and develop your individual project.
That's it!
No rigid rules, no specific layout, no dos and don'ts........ it's your project; just enjoy.
If you want to you can post updates, show w.i.p photos, discuss layout possibilities etc. It is
not competitive, and I'm sure everyone will be mutually supportive.
Some ideas if you'd prefer not to make a straightforward 365 day quilt.......
1. A cushion cover / placemat / runner /bag for each season.
2. A throw using a square to represent the average temperatures for a week at a time.
3. 12 applique trees each monthly tree having daily leaves.
Use your imagination... the world is your oyster
