“Mediterranean Mosaic” by Diane Nagle

This lap quilt pattern takes simple patchwork to the next level by making 3 different styles of blocks to include in the design. All 3 require only basic sewing skills, stitching patches together one at a time. When the 3 types of blocks are sewn together into rows, they create a quilt center with the appearance of a white border, plus the look of floating blocks on a dark background all around the quilt center. It’s a clever construction scheme that makes the sewing as simple as possible. You can do it!
