Positivity Quilt Top

I had no plan to make my Positivity Quilt Top with blue background fabric. I had purchased the blue fabric (remainder of the bolt), just before the Positivity QAL started. I was just short of enough fabric. What to do? I had a gray Grunge in my stash that had a bit of a blue tone – that would work. 

This quilt is made for The Positivity Quiltalong hosted by Sew Preeti Quilts, and today is the day for those of us participating to show our finished quilt tops. Once the quilts are finished, they will be donated to Bernie at Needle & Foot as Mercyful Quilts. You can read about the start of Mercyful Quilts in this post by Bernie.

I used as much blue fabric as I could, then made blocks with the gray fabric and alternated them with the blue in the outer blocks. The brightly colored plus blocks are from a 2018 Blogger Bundle, curated by Yvonne Fuchs (Quilting JetGirl) for Bernie at Needle & Foot. Since the quilt will be sent to Bernie as a Mercy quilt, I thought it would be a neat idea to use fabrics from Bernie’s shop. I love the fabrics, and I’m excited that I have some left to use for other projects.

A glam shor, just for fun, in a shady spot. (The photo of the quilt on the grass shows the colors better.) 

This quilt will be off to Connie for her longarm magic soon. The backing is coming from Bernie’s shop, too, and I’m hoping it will match well enough! Oh, by the way, Bernie’s Retirement Sale is still going on over at Needle & Foot. If you haven’t popped over there, you should – she still has some nice fabric available at 25% off. 

I’m so glad I got my Positivity Quilt Top done in time for the deadline. It was a close one!
