Get ready for some fun because it's time for another quilt-along!
The Positive Vibes Quilt-Along is for one of my newest patterns,
Positive Vibes. I designed it for my new fabric line,
Treasured Threads with Poppie Cotton, which is in stores now.
Positive Vibes comes with instructions
for 2 size options - baby and throw.
For the quilt along, we'll be making
the throw-size quilt that finishes at 71-1/4" x 85-1/2".
You can get the paper pattern HERE.
Or the PDF pattern HERE.

Positive Vibes is a fat quarter-friendly pattern,
perfect for a Treasured Threads fat quarter bundle!
You are welcome to use whatever
fat quarters you'd like, of course, but if you would like
to make the same quilt version that I'm making, there are
3 awesome quilt shops that are offering kits!
[This Positive Vibes block features Bloom True fabric by Terri Conrad for Poppie Cotton.]
The fabric requirements for the throw-size quilt are:
Bright Print Fat Quarters (Includes Scrappy Binding) - 20
Good Measure Natural Background Fabric - 6¼ yards
Optional Non-Scrappy Binding - 2/3 yard
Backing - 5¼ yards
Batting - 80” x 94”
