April's paper piece temperature wheel

Saturday sew day went by so fast.  I enjoyed the time spent with friends.  Each of us working on our own things.   I decided the night before to work on my temperature quilt.  I pulled everything out and took stock of where I was at.  I realize that we were already in May and I hadn't done my April block, so I set myself to do it!

Above is the paper piece foundation that I finished sewing the pieces to.  Then completed the last seam to complete the circle.  It took me the whole day while the ladies were here to get this far, but you know how it goes when you get together and chat about this, that and everything......lol.  Some work does get done, but to no schedule.....lol.

After the ladies left, I decided to keep going.  I removed all the paper and pinned the temperature wheel to the background.  I did this for the March and December temperature wheels as well.  I had finished the paper piece foundation for those back in March.

After dinner, I though why stop now and proceeded to appliqué the wheel to the background.  What a transformation.  It is amazing the difference the background fabric can have on the mood of the block.

As you may have noticed, if you recall the previous blocks, the colours in this block is starting to get warmer with the lighter greens, some pinks and a yellow.  I am liking how each month's block is looking.  

A thought just came to me....  These temperature wheels are Mother Nature's design.  She gets all the credit for the colour distribution.  I'm just capturing her handy work....lol.  Just a reminder that these temperatures that I am using, for this quilt, are for 2024.

Take care everyone.
