Rita's Legend Complete--Post 4

Snow, rain, light rain, sun fabrics

Goal number six on my December list was to finish the legend on Rita's Temperature quilt. She had a fabric for snow, rain, light rain and sun. In her project box, there were chunks of the fabric for light rain and rain. There were fabrics that she had cut for rain, light rain and sun. Two times I went through the box and found no fabric for snow. 

There was also a box labeled temperature fabrics. No snow fabric was in there either. What to do? I went back to the project box and pulled the fabrics she had cut for piecing into the blocks. These were two inch squares. As I pondered options, I spied a small corner of what looked like the snow fabric. . .it was! One piece that was about two inches by three inches. 

I cut a two inch square of the snow fabric and pieced it to a background fabric. I added the rain square and a background fabric. It took a little figuring to ensure that this pieced section would end up six inches long so it fit the legend that she had put together. I pieced the light rain and the sun days in to a strip. I attached both to the legend. Next, I embroidered the words that she used.

I'm glad that I found the snow fabric. I'm glad that the math worked. It wasn't as difficult as I had thought it would be. Now the next steps are to add the legend to the top and finish the top. Will there be borders? I don't know!
