Featured Quilt - How Hot Is It In Albuquerque?

Our next temperature quilt from Quiltcon 2022's MQG Temperature Quilts exhibit is from a quilter who has been a guest on The Quilt Show before, Ann Petersen. Her quilt, Albuquerque 2020, was made after her interest was piqued seeing so many other temperature quilts.

She writes,
"After seeing many temperature quilts during 2019, I was motivated to plan my own version of 2020. One aspect that was very important to me was to reflect both high and low daily temperatures in order to add more color. My block uses a rectangle to represent the daily high temperature and a triangle for the daily low. I switched up block orientations across the rows and from one row to the next to get the triangles to come together as diamonds."
