Temperature Quilt 2026

My main project over the last week was joining the sections of my Temperature Quilt from 2025. I'm excited to be getting very close to having a finished top, and I hope to have photos to share soon. I had such a fun time making last year's quilt that I have started a new Temperature Quilt for 2026. I'm using most of the same fabrics as last year, which are  Glaze and Glaze II by Libs Elliott for Andover Fabrics. Here's my color palette for the 2026 quilt.


A few of the colors were swapped out from last year's lineup, and the order of some of the others was switched around. I have 28 colors, and each one represents a range of 3 degrees going from 21° or lower up to 100° and above. The black fabric shown at the top will be my setting and sashing, although I might switch to a solid black.

This time I am using a Herringbone pattern that is foundation pieced. Here are the first nine days. The strips on the left represent the daily high temps, and the shorter strips on the right are the lows. We've had unusually warm weather for the beginning of January. The three bright yellow strips represent highs of 70 degrees.

Herringbone Temperature Quilt 2026

The Herringbone design that I am using is a free pattern from Tina Craig at Seaside Stitches. I enlarged the pattern a bit and am planning to add sashing between the monthly herringbone panels. I look forward to another year of tracking the weather here in Georgia.
