My apologies on out of order pictures. I put them in order, they appear out of order, and on phone internet, I don’t have the option to reupload, etc. so here we go...
My temperature quilt for 2020 is finished! I would like to embroider 2020 in the brown filler patch at the bottom, and maybe label each sample fabric (bottom right corner, from dark purple at below 0 to the maroon red at over 100), but it’s quilted and bound. I did use a fabric pen to mark when self-isolation began for us as a family, but otherwise it’s plain.
Some year, if I’m organized enough, I’d like to mark birthdays, special events, major weather events, etc. it would be interesting to record visually. I marked each day with a low and high temperature, so I quilted in pairs two separate out each day.
The backing is hand dyed by the big girls and me. I like it!
Here’s the actual pink for the week. I finished two of my pink Modern Vintage blocks. I clearly need to trim my half square triangles next time, but I was (cough, cough) too lazy this week. Next week, I hope to finish the last one and make some pink Farm Quilt blocks.
It’s time to link up to the
Rainbow Scrap Challenge again!

congrats on a great quilt finish - lovely pink blocks too
You modern vintage blocks are coming along well. Trimming is such a bother, but it can be so relaxing too. I just put a new blade in my cutter to celebrate the new year, and it makes everything easier. Congratulations on finishing up your temperatures quilt. Seeing the whole thing tells a story.
Your temperature quilt is just great, Katie! Even though I knew to expect the warmer colors in the center of the quilt, it makes a really neat design to go from cooler to warmer to cooler again.
Congrats on the quilt finish. I am often too cough, cough, lazy to trim parts as well.
Your modern vintage blocks are lovely. I am right there with you on the skipping the trimming (often to regret it later).
Congrats on the Temperature quilt finish! I have seen so many wonderful variations of this quilt and each time I see one I think I should make one but never do.
Your temperature quilt is great!! I have finally started one for this year and am so sad in hindsight that I didn't do 2020 when I first thought of it! Nice pink blocks too.
Congrats on finishing off your 2020 Temp Quilt, Katie! You and the big girls did a great job on the backing. That dye job is AWESOME!! Nice start to PINK month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, too.
Nice job on EVERYTHING! A finish is always nice and the beautiful backing makes it super special. Your pink blocks look pretty too!
