Wednesday Weather Report #56 - 6/13/18

Hello! It's been a crazy week here at CasaGrande and I'm afraid I haven't accomplished much of anything other than laundry. The one thing I made sure to work on was my new weather quilt!

56 - 68 - 73 - 72 - 69 - 71 - 76 F

It was a mish mash of weather in the last week but the weather gods are calling for 80's in the coming weeks so it will get more summer like. I've included the month so far there on the right so you can see how it will be on the quilt - 12 columns, 1 for each month.


I haven't really worked on this next project much recently but this is the first chance I've had to share it with you. I'm basically working on this quilt that I found on Pinterest but I'm breaking it down into portable pieces where the original designer is working on 1 complete row at a time. This should be a good project to leave at work or take camping.


Meet Zig and Zag. Or is it Zag and Zig? Who knows. Anyway....I'll be using the stack of 2.5" squares that have accumulated from using the Scrap Therapy system as well as cutting up the smaller pieces of my strip bins while I also cut more jewel heart shapes. Scrappy projects rule!

It's been a very freeing project to put any ole fabric next to any other fabric, just trying not to put too much of one color side by side.


I also found a use for some of my Oui yogurt pots...the 1" papers fit perfectly. Now I just have to order a few of the lids so my papers don't go flying...

It looks like it is warming up everywhere. Your zig zag quilt is fantastic! Don't give me any more ideas!

Not warming up here! This week would be all blue if I was still making weather hexies (can't break the habit of checking the temperatures and translating them to colours).

Love your zig and zag project!

Love, love the zig zag. Hate EPP. I have been printing with Inklingo and attempting hexagons. I could see myself doing the zig zag. You have picked great colors in all your quilts.

I actually worked on hexies on the trip home from Oregon (don't faint). If I ever get another block post written, I will link up.
Fun new temp quilt design.
And I am loving the Zig Zag design!
What cool yogurt jars. Don't think I have seen those around here, but not being a yogurt fan, I just may not have noticed. :)

Love the shape of your jars.... Good start to the next weather quilt.
Zig & Zag are cool. We have an Australian clowns duo named Zig & Zag ... https://tagg.com.au/zig-zag/
