Fireworks Quilt Block

January 02, 2024

Let's kick off 2024 with a Quilt Block Mania party! We have streamers, disco balls, pinatas, balloons, sparklers, confetti, and of course FIREWORKS!

I'm really excited to be a part of Quilt Block Mania again. January's theme is Party and the timing is perfect! It's the start of a brand new year, and it's both my and my daughter's birthday month - yay 🎉!

Do you enjoy fireworks? I love watching fireworks, especially at Disneyland. No matter how old I get, they're awe-inspiring. My favorite fireworks are the ones that seem to disappear then reappear, exploding into sparkling glitter. And the colors!! I love them all, especially pink & purple. Fireworks were the inspiration for my block, creatively named Fireworks.

I designed Fireworks to look like it's exploding with the brightest color in the center and the darkest color on the edges. It's a perfect design to make with Ombre fabrics, a fabric collection, or from scraps. There are so many color combo possibilities!

The Fireworks quilt block is a traditionally pieced block with half square triangles (HSTs) and Stitch N Flip units which makes it a fun block for fine-tuning and building your piecing skills. Be sure to check out this awesome tutorial on how to nest and spin your seams. It will come in really handy for your Fireworks block.

The Fireworks Quilt Block, along with the other QBM blocks, measure 12.5"x12.5", unfinished. Each block is FREE during the month of January 2024, so you can combine blocks into a fabulous quilt or pick and choose your favorites. (Scroll down for the list of designers and links to their patterns). After January 2024, my pattern will be available to purchase as a download in my shop for $6.

Be sure to join the Quilt Block Mania Facebook Group for inspiration and to share your own blocks.
