Anyway, I have been wanting to play with a solids quilt and this seems like a fun thing to try...of course I am bending the rules already and am doing HST's instead of the square in a square blocks they are doing. I chose a 2 inch finished size and raided my stash for solids to create the temperature range.
As a sidenote, Fat Quarter Shop had a generous sale on a wool pressing pad and I am trying it out today. You can see it above, I think I am a fan!

Welcome to the temperature QAL. What pressing mat did you get? I got the mega one that is like a wool/fiber blend. Love it so far.
What a fun quilt! I'm still trying to decide if I want to jump in. I know I don't have that many solids in my stash.
Love the idea. I started recording temps last year but never did anything with them. And I was only going to do squares which is boring. I like what you are doing!
I labeled my fabric a lot like you have and have cut squares from each piece to get started. This is my first time participating in the sew-along, too. I like your half-square triangles. I'm doing the square-in-a-square block but using a paper-piecing method. It will be fun to see the variations in all the quilts.
Mary's temperature quilt turned out so beautiful and I love seeing the start of this new one. I'm not sure I could keep up, but I'm sure you will!
Love your start to this quilt and also the solids you've chosen for your hst blocks.
With our whacky weather this year, should make an interesting quilt!
Ooh your fabrics are beautiful and do look like temperature gauges. Good luck with the project. Thanks for the tip about the pressing mat.
