I've had my eye on making a temperature quilt for some time. I've been following the hashtag #temperaturequilt on Instagram because I find these quilts so fun and beautiful. So I spent some time this year thinking about how to make my own version of this year-long project.
Plains and Pine Temp Quilt
I came up with this simple 8 point star design where the diamond represents the high temperatures each day of the year and the background represents the low temperatures. The black and white "blocks" represent the start of each new month.

The image below shows how the days of the year are arranged in the quilt. If you are worried you will get confused, I recommend numbering the days on your blank coloring page in the pattern. You can also record the daily highs and lows on the coloring page if that works best for your brain.
How I planned my version
2024 is a leap year so I pulled up the historical temperatures online for my location from 2016 (also my anniversary year) to determine the temperature range I wanted to use. I used the website Weather Underground to find these historical temperatures. You can search for your zip code on the homepage and then there is a tab called History where you can find historical temps for a specific day, week, or month.
I decided to have a 5 degree temperature range for each color of my quilt for a total of 21 colors. My "coldest" range is 0 degrees and below and my "hottest" range is 96 degrees and above. We have a handful of 0 degree days and a handful above 95 degrees but most of the daily temps fall between these ranges. If you live in a colder or hotter climate, you might want to include some ranges in your quilt (ex: 96 - 100 degrees, 101 - 105 degrees, etc).
Once I determined my temperature ranges, I took a look at my Kona swatch card to find the colors I wanted to use. I wanted to use purples and blues for the colder colors and then gradually moving to greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and pinks.
You do not have to use solids for this quilt. I think a temperature quilt with prints would look really cool. This felt like the easiest way for me to plan my quilt without spending hours scouring fabric shops for the right prints.
You also don't have to make your quilt with this rainbow of colors. If you want to use fewer colors with more shades of each color - go for it! Maybe you don't like oranges or greens. Well you don't have to use them! Use more blues or more pinks or whatever you want. It's your quilt and since you will be working on this for a whole year you want to make sure you are using fabrics you love.
Make Your Quilt Plan
I recommend using the planning sheets at the end of the pattern (Get the FREE pattern here) to plan your quilt before you get started.
1. Figure out the temperature ranges you want to use.
2. Get your fabric
3. Write everything down and paste your swatches to the planning sheets (with the fabric names).
4. Decide how you will stay organized with your blocks and fabric throughout the year.
- My plan is to keep the fabric name pinned to my yardage as well as written with the swatch on my planning sheet.
- I will keep my blocks stacked in order until I am able to sew 2 rows together.
5. Print the daily temp sheets at the end of the pattern so you can record the temperatures as you go.
It's almost time!
Ready to begin? Me too! I'm writing this post on December 27th and I'm excited to get started.
Check out my FAQ post about the Temperature Quilt here.
I will also be recording some videos demonstrating how to make these star blocks. Stay tuned!
Let me know if you have any questions!
And don't forget to download your pattern!

I regret not researching Bitcoin investment thoroughly before diving in. After seeing an Instagram post about Bitcoin investment, I got excited and contacted them, unaware it was a scam. Unfortunately, I lost $126K worth of Bitcoin under two weeks. Feeling defeated, I stumbled upon Morphohack, a crypto/bitcoin recovery company with a 100% recovery guarantee. I reached out, and they exceeded my expectations. Morphohack’s experts successfully traced and recovered my stolen Bitcoin.
Their knowledge and experience in the crypto world are impressive. I highly recommend Morphohack for any Bitcoin or crypto related issues. They seem capable of solving even the most complex problems.

Honestly, I thought it was all gone.
My dad got approached online by someone claiming to be a senior financial advisor. The guy seemed super professional and convinced my dad to start trading crypto on this platform he claimed was secure and high-yield. At first, it looked like everything was working—my dad was seeing profits, getting updates, even getting reassured that his money was growing.
But the moment he tried to withdraw his funds, the nightmare started. They told him he had to pay a “commission fee” to access the money. Then, after he paid it, they hit him with a “card activation” fee. That’s when he finally reached out to me, confused and a bit embarrassed. I looked into it and instantly knew it was a scam.
I didn’t want to panic, so I reached out to a friend of mine who’s way more tech-savvy than I am. After explaining the situation, he said, “You need to talk to Cyberpunk Programmers. They help people recover funds from this kind of stuff.”
I got in touch with the team at Cyberpunk Programmers, and they immediately took action. They told us to keep up communication with the scammers while they traced everything on their end. What blew me away was how fast they worked. In less than 8 hours, they had tracked the scam, infiltrated their system, and recovered the entire amount.
My dad had sent them a total of $437,000. Every single dollar was recovered.
I can’t thank Cyberpunk Programmers enough. If someone you love falls into a similar trap, don’t wait, don’t stay quiet, and definitely don’t feel ashamed. This stuff is designed to fool even the most careful people. Just know—there are people out there who can actually help. Cyberpunk Programmers is one of them.

speed swift recovery
I made an initial investment of roughly 87K USD on a Coastal Trading Options. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; Speed Swift Recovery, I contacted him via his email on:Speedexpertcrytocurrencyrecover@mail.com,
Whatsapp +12083405828: He came in handy and at the right time. He rescued me from these shady investment schemes with the help of their top-notch services. I got my funds back as well as my peace of mind.
