| Snow, rain, light rain, sun fabrics |
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!
Linking to Alycia at Finished or Not Friday.

Those look like the perfect prints to represent each type of weather! Did Rita use those as part of her daily blocks - like as a background? I can't remember when you last shared Rita's quilt design, so have forgotten what her blocks look like. You are an amazing friend to finish this quilt for her family, Terry!
Good morning, Terry. The legend looks great. So glad you were able to locate a piece of snow fabric to complete it. I can not wait to see the whole quilt. I have been having trouble with blogger in commenting on your blog. I hope my messages have been going through , but I don't think they have. Fingers crossed this one goes through. Enjoy your day, sweet friend. Hugs.
