Positivity Quilt

My Positivity quilt is finished. The Positivity Quilt Along was organized by Sew Preeti Quilts. Preeti also designed the plus blocks and shared several layouts for those of us who joined in. You can read all about the quilt along over at Sew Preeti Quilts

Once finished, the Positivity quilts will be sent to Bernie at Needle & Foot. Bernie will take them to Mercy Hospital where they will be given to patients who are terminally ill, and then to their families. You can read more about the Mercyful Quilt donations at Needle & Foot

My finished Positivity Quilt for the quilt along hosted by Sew Preeti Quilts and Needle & Foot - piecefulthoughts.com

I dashed outside to take a quick photo, the sky was a bit clouded over and I thought it might rain. Then the sun came out before I could get the photo taken, as you can see from my little shadow self in the lower corner. 

Anyway, my quilt measures 60″ x 80″ and all the fabrics used in the top are from my stash. The plus block fabric is from a Blogger Bundle curated by Carrie Bloomston and bought a few years ago from Bernie’s shop. The backing fabric is also from Bernie’s shop. Did you know that Bernie is closing her shop so she can spend more time with her family and do some quilting? She has some nice fabrics just waiting to be snapped up, so stop over – everything is 30% off.

Connie did her usual amazing work on the quilting, using this fun scalloped design. (You can see the true colors of the quilt better in this photo.) 

Peek at the quilt backing for my Positivity Quilt - piecefulthoughts.com

I thought this backing from Bernie’s shop worked well with the colors in the top. I used the gray Grunge for the binding. 

Thank you, Preeti and Bernie, for such a well-planned and fun quilt along!
