NOTE TO ALL: I have corrected the measurements for the square/rectangular shaped pieces for a piece a day quilt. I was waaaaaaaaay off. LOL! If you use cut rectangles 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" and use 1/4" seams, you will have a quilt (before borders) of 62"W x 60"L. They would be placed 31 across with neutral rectangles at the end of the months with less than 31 days.

I love those 2 links, Mel. I'm going to post those 2 links in my original post so they don't get lost here.
Everyone should go look at the quilt ideas those girls both had. I won't use that many solid colors, but plan to use prints that are preDOMinantly the color in the above chart, and may have a few variations in the fabrics.
I was thinking that if I can get my two grandsons to do this, I would have one of them record the days HIGH temp and the other the LOW. That way their 2 quilts would be different. Still thinking, but that was an idea on how to make them different.

I'm running a little behind in the news but I'd like to try and keep up like Shannon. Should be interesting to see how mine turns out with the weird temps that we are getting.

Because I am being an "idiot," can you explain how you would do a scrappy quilt with this idea? I have my fabrics ordered and am tracking the highs in my planner (yet another reason to own a MJF planner :) Love it!)

Shannon-
The scrap the idea is what Sara is doing and that I think I'm going to do. It is a quilt Square for every week and the quilt Square can be any size you want but you would use the colors for that week in a quilt block. Say you had three days at 80, 3 days at 60 and one day at 70. You would use three colors to correspond with those temperature ranges in your quilt block. This way you have 52 blocks to make. So you would choose a size for that block to make whatever size quilt you want I can help with that if you need it

This sounds like fun Linda. Right now I'm making a minecraft (this is a video game that my granddaughter like to play) quilt for her 8th birthday at the end of the month. I would love to do this, but maybe my granddaughter and I can do it together since she likes to sew sometime down the road. Plus she really likes interesting facts about the weather.
Hugs,

Got the temps off the computer for the next 7 days. Four colors this time so I will have fun with this one. The crazy temperature quilt works for me because each week I get to create something brand new and don't have to follow a pattern. The only things that are set are the size of squares and temperature colors.
Since I posted I now know what I am going to do. My four colors are bright yellow, light blue, light & dark green. I will do strips of the greens for ground & mountains ~ blue for sky - and yellow circle for sun. A mini landscape. This is so much fun.

I think I am finally getting a handle on the idea of a scrappy quilt :) Hmmmm I may have to consider this.... I still have a little more time to decide, as my fabric does not get here until Tuesday.

Sara - I'm so glad you are enjoying this, Sara. The scrappy block-a-week was my idea, but I think it is easier than 1-a-day. LOL! And you are getting to be creative with your designs of each block. WONderful!
Shannon - You can design your own like Sara, or use a pattern every month. If myou make sall squares like Sara, it will make a wall hanging; if you make larger squares, it will make a quilt.
I haven't made any blocks yet, but I will be making these scrappy blocks, too. LOL!

Hay Y'all! ! Just playing catch up here. . . been away for awhile but now I'm in a position to participate in everything FG! Long story but in a nutshell, I'm now a FT caregiver to an ailing parent and because I cannot count on being able to leave the house at any given day/time, I'm not able to join in any set activities like classes given at crafty stores or the church ladies gatherings, although I really do try. >> So it seems that I've been bitten by the crochet bug and Heaven help me, I have dived in with both feet!! (Make that cannonballed!!) Love me some yarn art and am about to begin simple sewing projects as well. Because of the nature of my mother's ailment and being tethered to homebase, I've taught myself to crochet in the past couple of months and already have a lot of UFOs - but can I tell you that I'm not at all upset about it. * * * *To be fair, I promised myself that I would learn "something new" everyday - so once I've completed something fairly well at least once, I add another project the next day. I still go back to the previous projects so that I can continue to hone my skills. For instance, I've been doing granny squares like a crazy person and each day I try to find a crafty thing (one of my fav's is a baby chick inside an egg (yes, its all crocheted). I got so enthused with my art that I kinda horned in on my husband's Secret Santa exchange at work. . . poor guy, he didn't get much say in what his coworker received. But I will say, he is so sweet and supportive. He ooows and aaaahs when I show him my creations. <3 Anyhow, I ran across this thread and thought how appropriate for me!! I'd love to be in your group, that is if you can stand a regular chatty Cathy! LOL! Thnxx and hope to chit chat soon! SouthForty ~FG#3794

Yes indeed, Marie! I was just sitting here contemplating which project to take up tonight ... afterall, it's only 11:30pm! Am I the only one who frequently ponders Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" ... You know the line, "There's never seems to be enough time to do all the things that you want to do - - once you FIND them. . ." Of course, that probably is way too old of a reference for many, but here in our home we refer to those as "Golden Mouldies" ha ha!
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll pop over and give it a whirl!

I finished the second block today. This block has a sun so I embroidered the rays. Glad I have three days before I start thinking about the third one. A break for me is a good thing.

Today starts my third block and I have dark green and light green to work with. Thinking about making the block a mini-embroidery sampler. Will help me with earning embroidery badge.
