My original Mod Mosaic tutorial was for making a pillow but, after using the method to make blocks for a couple of quilts, I found that I had revised and refined my technique. You can download a pdf file below with instructions for my updated Mod Mosaic piecing technique. It's a lot of fun and a great way to use up scraps. I also think it's a fabulous, if somewhat unconventional, way to use fussy-cut pieces of your favorite print fabrics.
