2021 Temperature Quilt Begins

January 11, 2021 by persimondreams 2 Comments

I almost decided to start a temperature quilt in 2020 and I just never got my ducks in a row for that. This year my friend Kim Van Etten decided to do one and that was all I needed to jump in the fun too!

I found a great planning sheet for my temperature fabrics over at Twiddletails. I used the one from 2020. She’s created temperature quilts for quite a few years so she has some great tips for it!

My original fabric pull was all different solids … but I just couldn’t stick with those so I switched it out and added a bunch of fun prints. I also have plans to add different doors into my houses when it rains/snows/high winds/crazy heat … any significant weather event.

After looking at the different block options for temperature quilts I’m doing the same one Kim is – a little house. These are 3.5″ squares with 2.0″ squares added to two corners of the block to make a house.

I’m using the NEWA data on the Cornell Website to determine the highs and lows of the day. There is a weather station just down the road from us – Arlington – that we actually use when we care for our apple orchard.  My goal is to post in nine block increments on instagram so I don’t let myself get too far behind. This should be a fun block to watch grow!

    That’s a great plan. I like the houses, and the door idea is even better!

    HAve fun with the temp quilt! I completed a crochet temp blanket in 2019 and a temp quilt in 2020. For both I added an extra special yarn or fabric that I would incorporate on special days….birthdays, first day of school, and for 2020, when we were ordered to shelter in place and when we entered different phases. It really helped to make it personally relevant.
