"My Temperature Quilt is Plodding along - slowly..."
But then I realised how daft that sounded for, by it's very nature, this is actually a Mystery Quilt that will take all year to complete!
And this project is to be a Quilt for the bed - my walls are warm enough!
I am faithfully recording the Top and Overnight Low temperatures each day and making up my blocks when I get a chance to - usually each week/fortnight....month...
OK well, I have done a month and a half!
The weather has been Beautiful - which means there is not a lot of variation in my blocks and I Have been praying for rain. Not just for the Water Catchments, or the Bushfires, or even my own Garden..
I am also including an "Atmospheric" component as my background fabric and unless we get 92 days of rain (defined as "Did I get wet today?") I am going to run out of my "Dry Day" background fabric!
I do have a backup plan of "Dreich" a Scottish term for Dull and Miserable for those truly terrible days.
This fabric could add a Windswept element to the quilt.
It is looking interesting so far - but I am debating with myself...
Should I sew them together in long strips of 22 patches - OR perhaps make up Blocks of 9 patches and sew these together in big chunks?
Decisions...decisions!
Wow, Wendy, it is wonderful! I'm sure however you put it together it will be a brilliant quilt.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about lack of variation so far - winter will arrive soon enough!
The "atmospheric" addition is very clever! Something I wouldn't have thought of living in a very dry climate.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the autumn and winter months added to this!
