Omaha 2020 (temperature quilt)
This temperature quilt uses half rectangle triangles to note the high and low temperature range for that day in Omaha, NE. I wanted the quilt to convey the way the temperature and season feels, so I choose fabric with patterns and colors that are expressive. I marked the Equinoxes and Solstices with yellow circles, raw-edged appliqued on those days. The key along the bottom shows the fabrics used for the temperature ranges from lowest to highest.
