Temperature Quilt 2020

I realize I haven't posted since December 2020. I have still been quilting and knitting but for some reason just stopped posting.  I have been well, still working, running almost daily (weather permitting) with my rescue dog.  Not sure why other than laziness.  

Anyway I began this quilt in November 2020.  I used NOAA to get the temperature data from Jan 1st for my zip code then began keeping track of the daily highs.  I only used daily highs not low temperatures.  I designed the quilt so that each row represented a month of days.  There is a rectangle for each day of the month.  The finished quilt measures approx 55 in x 74 in.  I finished the quilt Jan 31, 2021.

I added events throughout the year -- the day we adopted our rescue Harlow, my birthday, bought a new car, my husband's birthday, our 30th wedding anniversary, and more.

Here is the temperature color chart and also the label.
