Watch Melinda Bula as she takes us behind the scenes to create an amazing flag quilt for her son who joined the Marines after college. This quilt was recently added to the permanent collection of the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY.
Melinda says, “It’s a painting without any paint, where every color change is another piece of fabric. After the raw-edge fusible appliqué was completed, I used thread painting to blend the colors.”

These mosaic quilts are small, fun, portable projects that you can complete fairly quickly, and they make great gifts - either in kit format or completed. They also make great group projects for retreats and events! Plus, at just $28 each, you can buy all of the designs that you love.
Each kit contains the pattern, sticky stabilizer for assembly, "tile" and "grout" fabrics, tulle netting for finishing your mosaic, and full instructions. You will need to provide small fabric pieces for the sashing and border from your stash.
Below are just a few of our favorite designs (to be honest, we love them all!). We have limited quantities of each, so don't wait!
