More good chatter about the Temperature Quilt:
3 months into my project and it is showing progress, while developing a defined colour story. I took some fantastic photos yesterday on a sunny afternoon with gorgeous white snow in the background. For the record, the day showed mixed skies with a high of 9C and a low of -6C. Yes, this is how I am thinking about my days now. Also, it was windy and chinooking, so I washed sheets and dried them on the line. I had a great sleep last night under those gorgeous fresh linens.
Notes on phone:
I set up a task on the notes section of my phone to keep track. As I make each block I add a check-mark to that day.
Past Weather:
Have you missed some days of recording? I love waking up to my little scribbly notes from Hubby, but in case we both miss the details of the day I have found this fantastic site for past weather information. I have relied on it a few times. Just fill in your own location and it will give you the data that you need.
Organizing:
I had a mess of stuff everywhere and learned quickly that I needed to gain control. There are a lot of little pieces of fabric going on at once, especially if you are like me doing 10 blocks at a time, with every colour out on the table. Oh, stop the madness!
I have a little old quilt rack that now has my temperature quilt fabrics on it. I have bagged my scraps and pattern in a clear ziploc and it hangs on this rack as well. Everything is easily accessible and much more manageable.
Cutting Sky Pieces to eliminate waste:
If you cut your WOF strips for the sky 3 1/2" wide (instead of 3" as stated in the pattern) you can get 2 sky pieces out of each 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" sky piece. After cutting your angle you can use the top and the bottom of this piece. This is an option if you have a fabric that is not directional. My mixed sky fabric does not work with this method, but I have found it very useful for the sunny and cloudy sky pieces.
