When I started it, I really thought I was making a nice wallhanging. This behemoth clocks in at 64x82, so more bed quilt than wallhanging.
This is what happens when I start a project with more enthusiasm than math.
Now I just have to get a back made for it and I can start the quilting. (I gave myself the rest of the day off to celebrate, though. Plenty of time to get to the backing tomorrow.)
In the meantime, I pieced this little cutie as a leader/ender while I was attaching those border strips.
Not much to show for the RSC, but at least I'm not empty-handed! (And yes, those are cat butts in that block. What's a good buckeye without a cat butt or two?)
Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday and with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! Come see all the turquoise/aqua/teal fun!
Who needs math when your Temperature Quilt fits a twin sized bed?!?! :P
ReplyDeleteNice work on your TEAL blocks for the RSC, too.
Haha, math can so get us quilters in trouble, ask me how I know! That's a fabulous flimsy, and it's a wonderfully useful size!
ReplyDelete"more enthusiasm than math" haha, that cracks me up! And it sounds like me -- I'm an "I'll figure it out later and adjust it" quilter!!!! Love your colors :)
ReplyDeleteGreat flimsy finish, but definitely bed size! Will be great to snuggly up under in winter.
ReplyDeleteLol! I start most projects with more enthusiasm than math!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome
A great quilt, love it! I too tend to start with gusto and leave the maths bit to last ... like "if it doesn't fit, make it!"
ReplyDeleteI love your temperature quilt. I didn't know you were suppose to have a plan when you start a quilt. I guess it would make some easier :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
Definitely Huzzah! for you, Gayle! Your temperature quilt top is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou mean I need to figure out what I'm doing from the start? For a quilt? ?? Nope, not me! And I am glad you didn't plan it out too much either because you would have missed out on a fabulous quilt. Awesome, Gayle, just AWEsome!! Congrats! Enjoy your break. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWow! Your temperature quilt looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow! The best temperature quilt I have seen! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your awesome temperature quilt. You certainly never do anything halfway! 😍
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! Huzzah! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYour temperature quilt is beyond awesome (love what you said about more enthusiasm than math - that would be me in too many cases).
ReplyDeleteJust a beautiful temp quilt--funny how "ideas" - big quilts...sometimes...
ReplyDeletehugs, Julierose
Those flying geese are so happy! I can see why you had enthusiasm. Always nice when the initial excitement eventually ends with a finished quilt. Also, such a cute little cat but.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Kudos on the completion of the quilt top! Hope the back comes together smoothly for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the best looking meteorological record I've seen in a loooooong time! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking flimsy! Looking forward to seeing how you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteYour temperature quilt simply glows. What great choices you made for the colors and the sashing. And bed quilts are always useful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt...maybe fascinating is the word. I am looking forward to your reveal of what you’re working on for your pandemic/quarantine quilt.
ReplyDeleteHuzzahs are definitely in order. That's one of the best temp quilts I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLove your block.
ReplyDeleteand BEAUTIFUL temperature quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful temperature quilt, congratulations Gayle, this one just glows!
