Mosaic Block // Block #3 // Summer Sampler Turns 10
Welcome to to the third block for the Summer Sampler Turns 10 Quilt Along. If you are following along on Instagram, please tag us @swimbikequilt @lee.a.heinrich @freshlemonsquilts and use our hashtag #summersamplerturns10. I’m so happy to be sharing another free block pattern with you. Can you believe that when we originally launched the Summer Sampler, we released THREE blocks a week!??
The original 2011 quilt along was based on blocks that we found in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, which soon after became almost impossible to find. Good news: if you are interested in Brackman’s Encyclopedia, which included 4,000+ blocks, you can find an updated version here.
The Mosaic block is one of my favorites, and is a great one if you want to introduce multiple colors into your block. It is made up of Half Square Triangles, and goes together easily. One of my co-hosts, Lee Heinrich, put together an informative, step by step video for this block, which she also wrote the tutorial for. Make sure to check it out!
I hope you enjoy making this block! I think it would be really cool to swap out the background and foreground of this block, and use a darker print or solid as the “background.”:
