August Temperatures


I am so thrilled I am doing this quilt - it is fun to look back on a month.  August clearly was hot - more than half the days were in the 90s.  September days will start to cool things down so it will be fun to use something other than red and orange!


The first column (of color) on the left is January 1 through 15, next column January 16 through 31 etc which means the last column on the right is August 16 - 31.  I'm using a low volume fabric to fill in months that don't have 31 days plus surrounding the overall temperature quilt.

The quilt measures roughly 32'' x 25''.

Still no days over 100 degrees yet here in NC and now as we march closer to fall, it is less likely there will be one.  It did hit 95 at the end of the month so still possible.


Here is the mapping of color to temperature range - 



I'll be linking up my wip with  Freemotion by the River,   WIP Wednesday's,  Let's Bee SocialMidweek Makers.  Needle and Thread Thursdays, and Finished or Not Friday.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  5. Yes, see I waited so long to start mine, it will have to be a 2019 project! LOL. It is all cut out though, in a box sitting nicely in the way in the quilting room.

  8. This has been so fun to watch! And now that the temps are cooling off, it can grow with the cooler colors. I’d love to try this someday, too, just not with EPP hexies, lol.

  12. This is such a fun project! We've had a cooler than normal summer here too, there were a couple of days with 100+ in July, but we didn't get our typical 2 weeks of solid 100+ days in August this year.
