All of the January blocks for my temperature quilt were finished on February 1st and gathered together on the design wall. Here they are arranged like a calendar page.
The diamonds in the blocks indicate the high temperature each day, and the backgrounds are the lows. We had a stretch of very cold nights (for Georgia) with temps down in the teens late in the month, indicated by the second last row with mostly dark purple backgrounds. That was followed at the end of the month by a few much warmer days, with a high of 70 on the 30th.
I haven't yet decided on the layout for my quilt. I've seen photos of a few with their blocks joined together in diagonal sequence and decided to try that with my blocks.
That looks okay, but I'm not ready to make a decision yet. Of course, the easiest setting would be joining the blocks into straight horizontal rows. If I decided to go with that, I could keep adding blocks to the rows as they were made. I'll hold off on that decision for a little while yet.
