I like those Mfay!
imanna - mine will probably be a bit wonky, but too many pieces for me to be willing to take out, so will work with borders and then some “creative” stretching, ironing (not pressing, seriously agressive ironing LOL), and borders that can be squared up.
If I do another one, I may do it using muslin that I can color with my inktense pencils instead of piecing!

Wow!!! These are all so creative!! I love how they have all turned out! The colors are so interesting and everyon has used their own techniques!!
rryder - Rob!! that is a stunning piece! Was it difficult sewing your rows together? Was there alot of stretching with the HST along the bias? How large are your individual squares and how large is your final piece?
MNT Grandma - Your colors are so vibrant!! I love how you have integrated these beautiful dyed colors with a few solids in a lovely EEP design! Please post more pictures! How large is your final quilt?
Immana - Your pieces are so colourful!! Great job!
m-fay - Looking good!! Waiting to see your results!!
Moonrise - Your colors and design are so interesting - please update on your progress!

Thanks, it was a pain sewing the column together. I am not the most precise of piecers so I designed this one with HSTs to make myself try to improve my piecing. I heavily starched the HSTs so there wasn't much stretching along the bias. The individual squares finished at 2 1/8 ". Right now it measures 69" x 51", but it still needs borders so I can add dating info etc.

Ok, here is my re-made precipitation quilt (Finally). My temperature quilts are done as well...just need to quilt and bind them.
This quilt represents precipitation levels for each day in 2017.

- Each row represents a month.
- White = no precipitation. Colors get darker based on higher levels of precipitation.

The finished quilts and tops look very unique and creative. I really like the weather quilt. How large is your top?
I am in frog mode for this project. No forward progress. BHMQ is slowing me down. On last year’s, the purple BHMQ I decided to redo all of the yellow 3.5” blocks and redo them in 1/2 square blocks background and dark purple. So i’m 1/2 way done doing that. This year’s BHMQ I’m done with all the 3.5” and 2 by 10’ Sewn shashing. I just need to iron and start putting the 50 blocks together. I really like the design and colors of her blocks this year. I’m curious how it will look completely finished. I figure 2 for months for everything being done on these 2 projects?

Your precipitation quilt is beautiful Imanna. (and the raindrops) We dont get enough rainy days to make a precipitation one but I'm doing a temp quilt for this year too so I may look up the records and make a table runner precipitation one.
