Positivity Done!

I'm so happy I've finished my Positivity quilt.  Here it is Verdant Serenity in shades of cream, grey, and greens of all colors. 

I hope to have it in the mail to Bernie on Tuesday.  I still need to add a label to it before it goes. 

My long arm was giving me grief while I was quilting this.  But in the end it got done.  The pattern is Fern Gully.  I was really happy with the texture it added.  I used Omni thread from Superior in a  medium grey


The backing and binding was purchased from Connecting Threads.  It is Painter's Watercolor Swirl Sage in a wide back.  (Note, I don't think this was one of CT's wide backs but it the manufacturer isn't listed in the ad.) It's always hard to pick matching colors on line so I was very pleased at how well this went with the rest of the quilt.  In fact, I liked it so well I also made my binding from it! 


I'm linking up with Bernie's Link Up #3. (Hum, did I miss #2?) And with Quilting is more fun than Housework.. There are so many beautiful ways to use your positivity blocks -- explore them at Bernie's site.  I'll be back Monday morning with my normal blog post.  Enjoy surfing the blogs posted on these two linky parties. Come back Monday for my normal Monday post. 

Happy Quilting All.  Bonnie 

(I was playing with adding fonts and decided to give Architect's Daughter a try.  If you highlight the A on the toolbar on the Blogger site you will see a drop down menu.  The first choice is "Add More Fonts".  There are a lot of fun ones like Bonbon, Lobster, or Dancing Script. Hum, not all of them are easily read. Click on the name to have it added to your list of fonts. You'll find the names added at the bottom of the standard fonts.  Just click on the one you want to use. Have fun!)

  5. Your Positivity quilt turned out great, Bonnie! Sorry to hear that your long arm machine was throwing tantrums, though -- I can definitely relate to that and it is NOT fun. Hopefully whatever it was is resolved now. Fern Gully was a great design choice for this quilt!

  6. Ahh, what a lovely name for a lovely quilt. And even the name of the quilting pattern fits! I’m sure this will bring serenity to whoever receives it. Fun that you found new fonts. The one you chose reads like joy.

  7. Beautiful finish! Shame on Ruthie for throwing a tantrum. I hope she got it out of her system and is now quilting like a dream.

  8. Hi Bonnie,
    Your version of the Positivity quilt is just gorgeous. I just LOVE those fabrics you chose and how they play so nicely with each other. Ooh-la-la! I rarely work with that color palette but I can't say why because I'm drawn to it. Trying to pick matching colors is really difficult, I agree. But you knocked it out of the park! That is one huge factor I really miss with this pandemic - just browsing through our LQS and finding new fabrics that match. We have visited a bit but not as often as usual - no road trip fun this summer, darn it. Great job! ~smile~ Roseanne
