The Mosaic System · Completion Kits

You Finished a Mosaic.

Here's what that gets you.

Every completed mosaic unlocks a kit: the crochet pattern for your blanket square, yarn and notions sourcing, and an invitation to celebrate with people who will find this weird and then get into it. Five mosaics. One blanket. Something real at the end.
