Temp Quilt Update

These are the months of September, October and November.  The upper left hand side of each square is the day's high and the low is on the bottom right.  Now that the days are getting colder, more colors are being added and it's starting to look like I envisioned at the start of this project.

A reminder of the colors for each temperature-
All temps are Fahrenheit
50-55 lt. pink
56-59  Bright pink
60-65 light green
66-69 med. green
70-75 lt. yellow
76-79 bright yellow
80-85 lt. orange
86-89 dark orange
90 and above will be reds...hopefully, I won't be using those for a while!  The 40's and below will be aquas, purples and blues.

The two days in the bottom center with the dark aqua and the dark purple represent temps of 49/38F and 48/36F.  So far, December has had some nights below freezing so more colors coming. The grey patches are the beginning of each month.  I'm planning on embroidery the month's name on them at the end of this project.

Finally a Finish!

I don't have a very good record with Christmas quilts....I've got five in a box unfinished....the earliest dating back about four years!

This one was started last year when I was making a much larger version of this pattern.  I found a layer cake of Christmas fabrics and put the larger version on hold when I read the directions for this smaller version.  The pattern is Lone Star Baby by Amy Smart.  My version measures about 36" x 36".  This was partially quilted when my sewing machine died.  I've killed more than one cheap modern machine trying to shove a quilt through.  Some day I'll learn and get my vintage Brother machine repaired but the local repair service retired after about 40 years in the area.

Now that I'm inspired to finish, it's back to the box to see what I can do with the rest!
