This was the very final stitch!
Woohoo!!!

And this is the final rosette!
In the beginning of this project I didn't record the actual temperatures so I used Weather Underground to look up the max temp for 5/17/17 when I started this project. It was literally a red letter day because it was 89F. That is quite the difference from our finishing 59F!
I had hoped to get the top into one piece for tomorrow's HeLP post but I just know that y'all will forgive me when I tell you that I am beginning to panic about tomorrow night's EMT written exam and my time is better spent studying than sewing. Instead I'll share an update on Aslan tomrrow.
As far as my next temperature quilt goes, I realized Saturday morning while driving to a shop hop that there was a bit of a glitch int he design. No need to explain all the details today - let's just say that I will be starting the next quilt on 6/1/18. I'll still be doing weather reports in the meantime where I'll be sharing the final steps of this quilt and explaining the new quilt.
I do hope you'll consider joining in the next weather quilt-along. I've even been approached about someone doing a non-EPP weather quilt. While this started as a hexie project I think the more the merrier in anyone's favorite medium would really be interesting and motivating. Please let me know if you need ideas for joining in, whether with hexies or any other type of project.
I've so enjoyed seeing the weather in different parts of the world: Vireya's was the opposite weather down under and Pam's was more similar than I expected in Japan while those here in the northeastern US/Canada were quite similar as well.
Something else to look to down the road is a showing of everyone's final quilt. Anyone is welcome to add their finished quilt to the weekly weather reports at any time but let's keep each other in the loop to do a "final" post someday soon.
Great block this week - both in temperatures and fabrics. I look forward to seeing everyone's finished quilts!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on taking the final stitch! What a great feeling that must be. I am working on April's rosettes, so not too much catching up to do. I did start mine on 6/1 last year, so I have a couple of weeks left. I am so excited to put this quilt together.

ReplyDeleteAll the best for your exam! (Deleted the first comment because I can't spell...)
ReplyDeleteWow--what an accomplishment, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see everyone's finished temp quilt, and to see what you work out for your next quilt, when the glitches have all been fixed. :)
It's been fun watching this project. I don't think I could keep up with it year round, but I'll think about it. Good luck with the EMT exam. I'm sure you'll do fine.
