Mortar & Moss Quilt Pattern

Like a little garden growing between old brick walls, Mortar & Moss is a charming panel quilt with a relaxed, organic feel. Designed to showcase a favorite fabric panel or large-scale print, this quilt surrounds the center panel with a playful, wonky brick-style border that adds movement, texture, and personality without requiring perfectly matched points. The pattern includes two finished quilt sizes, making it a versatile choice for a wall hanging, baby quilt, toddler quilt, or lap quilt. The 32 x 50 Wall Hanging/Baby size is perfect for nurseries, children’s rooms, or displaying a favorite panel, while the 47 x 60 Toddler/Lap size makes a cozy quilt for little ones or a useful lap-sized throw. For an extra touch of whimsy, optional flower appliqués can be added to the brick border. Mortar & Moss introduces quilters to two appliqué techniques—raw-edge appliqué and bias-tape appliqué—allowing makers to choose a simple, relaxed finish or add beautifully defined, dimensional floral details. The pattern features clear, fully illustrated instructions and is rated Adventurous Beginner/Intermediate. Simple piecing and the intentionally wonky brick border make this an approachable project for quilters who enjoy a relaxed design, while the optional appliqué provides opportunities to learn new techniques and customize the finished quilt. Mortar & Moss is especially well suited to botanical, garden, and nature-themed fabrics, and pairs beautifully with the Bushel & Bloom collection by Rachel Rossi for Benartex. It is also an excellent way to use a favorite fabric panel, large-scale print, or piece of fabric artwork that deserves to be the star of the quilt.
