First Positivity Quilt-Along Update

We are spreading positivity all throughout blog land and beyond. This quilt-along is for Mercy Hospital in Sacramento, CA and it is time for a wee bit of an update, don’t you think?!

Quilt-Along Details First

The free quilt-along has a nice, easy pace. Preeti has shared the schedule and some details about different block options. There are even sponsors – and some very fabulous ones. Bernie at Needle and Foot coordinates for the Mercyful Quilts program. She shared some excellent details about the charity as well as quilting/mailing options. Coming up next, on the 27th, is a linky party for the first 24 blocks. That’s half the quilt top! Yikes, I’d better get busy or we’ll end up behind.

Positivity First

After finally deciding on which Plus block to make, we used a Riley Blake jelly roll called Kisses for the pluses. Each strip makes two Plus blocks AND eight cornerstone pieces. Sue came up with an elaborate system for the Corner Plus block’s layout. There are lots of labels and a grid involved. Good thing all I have to do is to sew!

Positivity Twelve

Yesterday, we shared our first four blocks in our To-Do update but now we can share our first twelve Cornered Plus Positivity blocks. We are one-quarter through the block-making project. The four-patch squares formed in the corners appealed to us, especially when made from Kisses!

We’ve got a lot more colors to come so those corner four-patches will be a jumble of colors. I’m mentally calling this quilt Positivity Kisses which will be loaded with lots of {{hugs}}, too. How oh how should this be quilted, is the question I’ve begun asking myself.
