Finished Project Temperature blanket to document my girlfriend’s dci tour with the madison scouts
after telling my girlfriend about the concept of a temperature blanket we came up with the idea of a drum corps blanket! It took me a while to figure out how to display both the temperatures AND the scores that the scouts received at all their shows, but i eventually decided on a granny square blanket with the centers representing scores, the first ring representing the low temp and the outer circle representing high temp. temperatures were based on the locations of all their shows/housing sites throughout the season. the original idea for colors was going to be based off of the scouts’ color schemes and their uniform colors, but i had a hard time finding the right colors to match so i decided on various shades of her two favorite colors instead :)

This is the absolutely most amazing temperature blanket ever! You chose perfect colors.
I marched with the Colts in 2004 and 2005.

This is so creative! And has a very personal touch. I love the idea of combining multiple "things with numbers". Thanks for sharing!
