Over the summer I was inspired to design a block of the month quilt project. As I was collecting block inspiration I noticed a recurring theme – the plus shape. Currently dealing with the pandemic in our communities and households, I was inspired to add a dose of positivity to my sewing. And so I designed this row quilt – Positivity!

Positivity – Block of the Month Quilt

I’ve included five different blocks, in four different sizes in this BOM quilt project. A couple of the blocks are made in two block sizes and the others are one size only. I like the interest this adds, and the skills gained from a little bit of repetition. Can you find the double blocks?

My fabric selections for Positivity included a fat eighth bundle and a few fat quarters that I picked up at my local quilt shop. And a few bits leftover from other projects. Positivity is great for scraps, and smaller cuts of fabric, but can be cut from yardage too!

In the pattern, I’ve included cutting instructions for one block at a time for the scrap-aholic looking to include every precious fabric. And cutting instructions for cutting from fat quarters and yardage. No matter how you like to work or shop you are covered. This gives the pattern flexibility for quilters everywhere!

Adding the cheerful color palette to the plus shapes creates a smile-inducing quilt finish – don’t you think?  I’m loving the way the colors pop in contrast to the near winter landscape here.
