Wonky Mosaic Tiles | Mosaic Quilt Block Tutorial #1

Hello peanut gallery! I made my very first mosaic quilt block! I like the way it came out, but I've already figured out a much easier way to do it with strip sets and string piecing! I will be showing that next and maybe I'll use the white grout so we can see how that looks. Hang in there because I have many more mosaic blocks on the way! Do love this new series!

Darlene Michaud Wonder if the name is tile mortar🌺

[@triciasage3749]

"Led lighting" that's what we call raised black lines in windows in the U.K.! Can't wait to do this. Thanks Darlene as always love your tutes

[@joenamorado6372]

Am I the only one that likes Darlene's videos before I even watch it? I doubt it! 😅

[@bettyp51]

Jo Enamorado I always hit like before watching!

[@gaylehudert9917]

I always know I will enjoy her. Whether she's chatting, teaching, experimenting, or just sharing.

[@tstasey]

Cuteness! I was given a large variety of jeweled toned fabrics from a friends stash who passed away recently from breast cancer. Her quilt work was UH-mazing so I feel priveledged to have this fabric. Your mosaic blocks will be the PERFECT project for this fabric

[@grammascookiejar]

I have "senior moments" all the time too, but I think you are correct that the "grout" on a stained glass window is called leading. Lovin' your videos

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Fascinating, compelling, interesting. Really enjoyed watching! Cuppa gone cold again! Excellent!

[@gaylehudert9917]

I love the black! Most colors pop so beautifully with a lot of black in the background. Looking forward to watching more of these.

[@booomanchu]

Love this block. When you hold it up and turn it, it looks really different "on point." It looks good on the design board! A lot of potential.

[@jpendot]

I really like how the grout is different sizes! It turned out stunning, maybe I will do one for a tote. Thanks Darlene!

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

I'm so excited now to try this. I'm so happy I bought these colors, now to go find some black and wait for delivery. I love ❤️ this loo

[@barbarajobling5665]

Yet another master piece from Darlene, this is going to be gorgeous, do love❤️

[@marknmelanieolinger481]

I love this!!! As I said before, you have inspired me to buy a new sewing machine. I think this will be my first project as son as I get it! Thank You Darlene!!

[@bethpartington5406]

Mark n Melanie Olinger I have an old one I bought for $20 on Craigslist w no book. I want a new one so bad. What kind did u get?? Happy sewing.

[@bethpartington5406]

I didn't love the block single, but when u did the thing at the end with the blocks all together I absolutely loved it! Im new to your channel; u put your heart n soul in the videos and I effing love your realism!!!!!!! Thx!

[@mabushhiilove6035]

Ok 2 things, currently working on a nightmare before Christmas quilt and wanted different borders on the top and sides I had decided my sides and this will be my top!!! Thank you for the inspiration!! And I adore your personality!!!!

[@ndlz1]

At first, with the Crumb blocks, I thought Oh WOW! Wait! Let me catch my breath, Whoa Nelly! This Mosaic block? It's definitely calling me by my full name!

[@latetotheparty4785]

I absolutely love this Darlene!!!

[@kathysnowberger2384]

Loved it. Can't wait for "this" next.

[@cathyspann6659]

Omg I ❤ this. I'm going to have to work up the courage to do this. Great job!!

[@EverCassandra]

That turned out really pretty on your design board! (Guessing the word mortar for the space between blocks, but I know that's for bricks. LOL)

[@susanarcher9591]

Darlene i love that block! How cute! Oh and i LOVE your hot alerts!" 😂😂

[@sheila72865]

Absolutely love this.

[@coolcutsgal2]

I really like the various sizes and the width of the black really makes the colors Pop

[@TracynTaane]

I love this!!!! This I would do and would love a quilt for my bed made like this 💕

[@lynnaltmayer7982]

I love your ideas and explanation- you are so down to earth and creative!

[@marypino3125]

You are so much fun! I love your tutorials. Best reality KZbin on quilting!

[@Lorna2406]

Do love! 💙💙💙

[@debjh]

Fascinating! I love it.

[@ireneschuyler1867]

Very pretty

[@Aileycat1970]

Love it! May do this while waiting for hurricane to pass the time. I have a bucket of crumbs. Maybe do leading in red instead.

[@denisemartinez6456]

I love it! So fun and perfect way to use up scraps. Thank you once again lol I'm excited to get back into quilting. Blessings everyone!

[@janiceburns1361]

That is the best one yet..do you notice that every time you do a different quilt block someone comes behind you and they do one to.. its crazy the way KZbin works

[@suescholz5993]

Love it, love it.

[@Catwomanmn]

Beautiful!

[@carlawolf8260]

I love it. It is awesome, and a quilt would be so nice. I think you did a great job

[@maryloupatten7096]

Love this!!! I will be doing this soon thank you so much!

[@kristiedentice8021]

so cool! definatly gonna have to try that

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

I think this is my favorite tutorial so far...

[@margaret-mary499]

Wow I never seen this before being made. So cool. The layouts remind me of the windows in a cathedral church. I like the black between colors. Great video🌺

[@abibritton8791]

Darlene, so much fun watching your videos. You make bravery and giggling a great part of what is most often a structured and exacting craft - it's completely serendipity creativity! I'm in the middle of several partly done quilts (as usual) but now I'm abandoning them for yet another....I am completely stoked that I don't have to steel myself into finally letting go of my basket full of all those ridiculously teeny pieces of fabric, lol. Darn that i have to work for a living! Can I ask: what do you use to show all your 'possible' quilt designs? And can I afford it? I'm sure looking forward to your next adventure, have a really pretty day! Abigail, in beautiful NH.

[@jennycarlson7016]

Awesome! keep up the good work.

[@logicvemotion8051]

So effective...just pops....only thing I can think of is cement for grouting 😀

[@JuneAStaudenmayer]

very well explained

[@SariShares]

Very cool!! Always love your "HOT ALERT" LOL!

[@debradixon9430]

Hi Darlene! I am not a quilter but I have to tell you that I love love love the look of this one probably more than any quilt I've seen. I love your hot alerts. I am hot all the time and I have my fan on for every season. I think my thermostat is broken but I need air........and when my hubby gets cold I tell him to get a blanket. Also, with a big change of conversation, could you believe how upset Jason was when Christmas sent him out?? I felt so bad for him. Then when Alex won the HOH I thought for sure she'd automatically put up Christmas at least.........but NO!!! Her move was so stupid and then when Paul was calling out Josh, I wanted to crawl into the TV and smack him a good one. Even if he makes it to the end, I don't think he'll get the votes but we shall see. Cannot wait for the celebrity one this winter.........more Big Brother!!!!!!

[@dianesayers4763]

holy shit.....that was wonderful.....now I can't wait to try to make one square.. thanks teach!!!!!

[@karenherman8653]

New to your channel and I love your teaching style! I will be binge watching you today. Maybe I should go and make these blocks. I have only done stained glass blocks with paper piecing, this is so much more liberating and creative. Thanks for the video

[@rosettagadson1762]

I really like this block and plan to make a few myself

[@kimbennett2369]

Love it !

[@joenamorado6372]

Mortar is used to hold the mosaic tiles (aka tesserae) down to the surface in which you are creating your artwork and grout is used to fill between the tiles when the mortar is set. You've been correct in calling it grout this whole time, Darlene. I can't imagine what word you're looking for since you're already using the appropriate term. Maybe it's called something different in your part of the country? Hmmmmm. 🤔

[@carolinebrown9018]

What fun!

[@adelesmith6307]

Stunning. 😄 x

[@sixpackbinky]

Love this one too, reminds me of stained glass

[@vasanthiumeshkumar5512]

Love your tutorial! Very interesting and cheerful! Thanks for this mosaic quilt block video. Do you have tutorial for stained for stained glass quilt block ? Looking forward to watch your method . TIA!

[@hannahalexander7005]

Great for small or medium wall hanging

[@joyceburrill2738]

Winner!

[@juliehale4627]

I love it xxx

[@friendshipquilters1132]

LOVE IT !!!!

[@luciamcgill63]

super cool.

[@beverleysimmons3778]

Lol you are good girl now doing my crumb blocks

[@doracamarena3588]

Love,love , love it.!!!

[@terridunning3450]

My girlfriend does stained glass and her term for between the pieces of glass is called leading. I hope this helps you.

[@darlene.michaud]

Nope! Not what I'm after. I want the name of the stuff between mosaic tiles, not stained glass.

[@corrinebrackney7679]

Darlene Michaud Love the colors with the black! Will have to try it- I have black! You really make everything look so easy to make- thank you thank you! Always enjoy watching whatever you're sewing 👏👏👏

[@Rebecca.G]

Have you considered not squaring off the block? Just keep adding and building until you're happy with the size. You could even change it up by making triangle blocks instead of square blocks.

[@darlene.michaud]

I was happy with the size. lol Anyone can do it whatever way they want. I'm just showing how to do it and want to show what it looks like squared up. Will move on to the next method now.

[@bethpartington5406]

becdiggity I thought that would be cool too after I saw the end pics when she put the blocks all together in the video

[@Rebecca.G]

I know you were, I liked it too! By happy with the size, I meant a full blanket single block lol. So you're building the whole project at once and not making squared off blocks. It was just an idea, I wasn't trying to criticize or anything

[@Rebecca.G]

Thanks, I'm glad I wasn't the only one haha :)

[@orkchild]

Stain glass lines are called leading and tile mosaics all have grout no matter if it is only decrative or utilitarian

[@darlene.michaud]

I promise you there is another term that no one has come up with yet. lol

[@zandracrisp6438]

That is awesome

[@denycelamantia7758]

It's called leading when it's in stained glass....

[@ardenwalker8759]

I like

[@luannmartin3853]

Hi Darlene

[@maygray5375]

Love watching your videos I want to make a crumb wacky glass stain panels what side do I cut my black to make the borders out of a fat block

[@grandmabenny2283]

I love ❤️ it

[@LADYSTURTLE]

"Do love"!

[@staciebarndweller774]

Caning? Is that the word you are thinking of?

[@darlene.michaud]

Nope! lol So many guesses! We will get it eventually!

[@heatherwhite4422]

They called the "grout" in mosaic thinset. I couldn't think of the name either. I was able to look it up though.

[@darlene.michaud]

That's still not the word I'm after.

[@dixiealt4215]

is the word you are trying to think of mastic?

[@darlene.michaud]

Nope! But I sure am learning lots of words! lol I'm on a mission to find my word!

[@francineshea4723]

I really like this look. I've done real mosaic tiling on old tabletops and plant pots for outside. This is awesome in fabric. Thank you for your hard daily work and sharing your creativity!!

[@Trayne1837]

Leading. That's what they call it in stainglass

[@matthewgarretson103]

Is the word mortar? :)

[@anoldladi]

I think the word might be "matrix". Kind of a math term as in "block matrix".

[@anitagreen2263]

It's called...TFS---That Filler Shit.

[@Beth.Colvin]

Mortar?

[@cathyspann6659]

Thin set, mastic, epoxy.
