EQ7 Tutorial Tuesday climate quilt

On facebook I saw this fun “challenge” for crocheting.

a row a day for 365 depending on the temperature outside

Then I thought about a way to make a quilt this way!

well 365 days doesn’t really equal into a rectangle, but doing a 16 x 24 grid then you have two rows for each month

Now it was a google search to find a place that showed temperatures from 2016 in my area and I found it at usclimatedata.com and you can then add your zip code and see the result

I then found the month of temps for my area (a neighbor city)

and looking at the yarn picture I chose to add one for 100 and above to be dark red

so from high to low

110 above dark red

89-99 red

78-88 golden

67-77  green

54-66 light green

44-53 light blue

33-43 blue

23-32 dark blue

under 22 purple

so then start coloring!

one block for each day

The first row I did 15 days of january 2016 and notice I did a black as #16 for that row so there’s room for 16-31 on the 2nd row

Here’s January all done

here’s February!

March and April

and here’s up to sept

Then the data ended, but you get the point

it’s a fun way to make a quilt and if you keep these colors or not or maybe split it more like 30-39, 40-49 or even in 5 degrees? that’s up to you!

a fun way to make a quilt and with an accuquilt die, you can cut out the blocks in no time!!
