Positivity Plus

This is a single bed quilt for my cousin’s son, Mitchell McNally, 

which was finally delivered to him a couple of weeks ago by his Nana, Sue. 

I created the quilt back in the summer holidays but our Covid-19 Level Four lockdown 

thwarted my plans to drive up to the Ida Valley for a visit to deliver it.

Here it is on the design wall back in January...

The quilt measures 61” x 63” and is based on the Jeni Baker ‘Artithmetic’ pattern, but I adapted it to have the crosses looking more scattered across the quilt.

The backing is made from minky that was also in my stash and I kept the quilting simple, 

using stitch in the ditch and diagonal lines. 

I called it ‘Positivity Plus’ because Mitchell received a major health diagnosis at the start of the year and he had quickly adjusted to it and taken on a really positive attitude towards managing his health.
