From the creative minds at The Crafty Nuisance who brought you A Wolf in Wolf’s Clothing comes a new masterpiece available exclusively at The Fabric Candy Shoppe. Celebrate Tula Pink’s Floral Reef collection in a clever and innovative way with The Princess & the Reef MosaiQuilt(TM). This pattern uses the features and contours of the collection’s fabrics themselves to make a seahorse image that looks like she comes straight out of the Floral Reef.

At first glance, this quilt may look like a pixel quilt, but it’s actually a mosaic—or "MosaiQuilt(TM)" as we call it. Each square is thoughtfully fussy cut and placed in a grid to create the image’s contours and details from the design elements of the fabrics themselves. While the image is made up of squares like a pixel quilt, our MosaiQuilts go beyond using squares of color to build an image. Instead you’re actually creating the image out of the genius of Tula Pink’s designs themselves.

Harnessing the power of The Crafty Nuisance’s proprietary software to generate both the image itself and the full-color, highly detailed pattern, you’ll be shown exactly what you need to cut from each print and where each square goes in the 14-panel layout. You’ll first be guided to cut specific larger rectangles from the yardage that are sub-cut into the necessary squares. The pattern has been carefully crafted into an interactive PDF viewable digitally, but it also has been formatted so you can print out the panel layouts and easily keep track of what to cut.

NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL PDF DOWNLOAD: When you purchase the pattern or kit from The Fabric Candy Shoppe, you’ll receive an email link to download the PDF pattern upon its release. Please be sure to provide a valid email address at checkout so we can send the pattern to you.
