These colorful creations generally celebrate a special year by tracking the highs/lows or averages of temperature in a given location(s). Temperature quilts can range from a beginning quilter’s dream with simple block construction to a complex interaction of temperature, precipitation, moods, memories, and more. Take a tour of some incredible temperature quilts from around the world, and come away with the basic knowledge to start planning your own!

This log cabin quilt was made for Diana’s mother, Roberta Casebolt, who lived in a cabin style house in Tennessee. During the piecing four hurricanes (Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jean) that hit Central Florida from August-September 2004 leaving residents without electricity for days, Diana and Tonia pieced Grandma’s quilt by plugging their sewing machines into a generator to continue so they could have it ready by Christmas.

IF THIS SHIRT COULD TALK
Mini-Quilt Display - Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild
The Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild regularly issues “challenges” to its members, to encourage creativity by working with fabrics, colors, tools, techniques and/or designs they might not typically use. In February 2023, we launched the IF THIS SHIRT COULD TALK, aka “Shirt Tales” challenge.
“Shirt Tales” had to include fabric from only one button-down shirt; could have only white, cream, gray, or black quilting cotton or other fabric for background; and had to be a square no smaller than 18×18″ or larger than 24×24.″
Ideally, we wanted members to deconstruct/reconstruct an expendable shirt in their life, perhaps one with a story behind it. Failing that, we recommended local thrift stores as a way to give new purpose to a discarded piece.
Many thanks to the North Jersey Modern Quilt Guild whose “I Used to Be a Shirt” project inspired this activity (with their enthusiastic blessing).
Contributing quilters: Maria Cleary, Jennifer Fisher, Julie Hotchkiss, Diane Luebbe, Kristen MacCartney, Janet McPherson, and Erin Schelle.
