If you’ve looked at and/or seen the “On Cloud Nine Quilt Blocks” on my website then you’ve already seen this “Calico Mosaic” quilt block. Except the instructions for cutting it out are different, because the size is different for this “Fanciful & Fun” Quilt!

The quilt blocks are 10” finished and 10 1/2” unfinished.
