2017 Temperature Quilt
#161
Imanna, I find your insights into the effects of the scrappy vs. solids in this application very interesting. Being a scrappy loving quilter, I too, would have been lost in the fabrics and ended up losing the true message. Thanks for sharing this thought!!

Here's a link to the layout I'm going to do:

The only difference is that mine will have 24 columns and 32 rows.

I've been using weather.com and I Think the temps given are for the time you are logged on, not the actual temps for the day. I'd noticed that the prior day's temp was not what I'd recorded. I started comparing at different times of day and they did vary. Does Accuweather have a monthly or month to date listing?

1) Search for your city
2) Click on the "Month" link above the forecast for the next few days

Happy belated Valentines Day to everyone. Thought I'd give a mid month weather report. We have already had more rain in our part of Oregon than we've had in over 100 years. Yes it is raining again and am expecting an inch or more this time. The end of January it was 10F and last week it was 55 to 60 a couple days and now it is 47 and about 33-34 at night. Lots of time for sewing on these raining days.

I have also notices a serious discrepancy in temps from website to website. I finally just stopped obsessing on the differences and chose one that is the most accurate to what I am experiencing from my local radio reports. I use wunderground.com I stumbled on the site a month or so ago and I can tailor it to my area and it is easy to see high and low temps. I just got my colors organized and will be actually starting my quilt this week-end.

Two more days and I move to the next circular row, which will be back to solids. I have no idea when I will start to square off, maybe when it is wide enough. I decided it may take more than one year to finish...that's OK too. I do like having a small decision and project to complete each day.
Each time we go the the "big" city, Grass Valley, I promise myself I will buy the thermometer that saves the high of the day. I am spending way to much time checking the one we have.
Did get one day in the 50's, and have made that purple. Had to replace my one 20's which had been purple, with a white. My snow dye for blue turned out purple...necessitating the change. Moved blue to the 90's to give me time to try dying again..if no more snow will try crushed ice next summer when it will be fun to play with. Just reread this paragraph, Don't worry I don't understand it either. Blame my head cold.
