Create Something Magical with Charming Fireflies
| July 18, 2026 | Paper Piecing, Quilt Blocks, Summer Quilts
The Block Can Be Used In Many Types of Projects!
Who can resist the magic of fireflies? They instantly bring to mind enchanting summer evenings, with them softly blinking their way through backyards and gardens.
This beautiful quilt block captures that special magic. Value gradations make the fireflies seem to light up.
Choose between two block styles: one with the wings out straight and the other with the wings at a slight angle. Several block sizes mean they can be used in many types of projects.
The blocks are created using foundation paper piecing. That ensures precise results, even in the smaller block sizes. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.
Designer Cali Roberts from Easy Piece Patterns provides instructions for the following block sizes:
- 2.5″
- 3″
- 4″
- 5″
- 6″
- 7″
