One Monthly Goal – February Finish
Done! All the hexies are sewn together from my 2018 Temperature quilt.
Top measures 46 1/2″ x 54 1/2″
I put the hexies with the embroidered temperatures down the right and left side of the top.
This is what the back looks like, some of the papers fell out while sewing the hexies together.
After hand stitching the individual hexie pieces together, I decide to switch to using a monofilament thread and zigzag stitch to attach the finished hexies together. The center of each hexie is the high temperature of the day and the two side pieces are the low of the day.
I embroidery the name of the month on the fabric representing the low of the first day of each month. Placing that hexie in the row then followed by day one. For example, here is October (I need to erase my Frixion pen marks.) The high for October first was a warm 83 degrees and the low was 56 degrees.
This rust fabric represents 81-84 degrees range.
And here you can see the yellow print representing the 53-56 degrees used in the October 1st hexie.
Back of the October 1st hexie.
To piece the daily hexies, I used Presencia Finca Perle Cotton embroidery thread in blue, green yellow, orange, or red to coordinate with the low of the day.
Top is complete. Now to figure out how to sandwich and quilt it.
