I decided to end my weather hexies which I had started at the beginning of the year. I wanted to add the overnight low temps to my quilt. So I designed this layout. Each daytime high is going to be a elongated hexie. Then the overnight low will be the regular hexie to the right of the daytime one. I was sewing up a storm until we hit the really high, humid days. I couldn't keep up with the temps. . I am hoping that they will soon become available once again.. Or that I can find them somewhere else. Right now my quilt has a hole in it.
Instead of appliqueing the rosettes to a background fabric like I did before. I decided to outline each week with light colourd hexies. I started with the first day of summer - June 21, 2008. That is the first block you see. I just finished week 5. I'll post more about these blocks later. I am very busy right now, hosting a Japanese teacher for a couple of weeks. I'll be back soon.
I was going to link up with Sarah, but her site wants me to accept her privacy policy and I can't figure out how to do that.
Fun way to do your weather quilt. Enjoy your Japanese visitor.
ReplyDeleteClever idea for your hexies. Have fun with your visitor!
ReplyDeleteI like how you have incorporated the overnight lows. Not that they look very low so far!
