When I shared this little Firecracker quilt block last week on social media, I had no idea others would be interested. It was just a cute block that I put together to celebrate the 4th of July but so many of you reached out.
So, it is this week’s latest addition to the Blocks 2 Quilt series.
The Firecracker ice pop was a summertime tradition growing up. The sweet and sticky pops would always melt before being finished. Plus, let’s not forget the telltale sign of the bright blue lips it left behind.
Firecracker Quilt Block
The Firecracker quilt block is available in two finished sizes that measure:
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
- 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)
Materials & Supplies:
- Assorted Scraps: Blues, Reds, Gray, White and Background Prints
- Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
- Heat erasing marking tool
- Spray starch
- Flatter Spray
- Sewing Machine
Even though I made it in holiday colors, I can imagine this block being stitched up in all different colors. Dive into your scraps and use sherbet as your inspiration, the possibilities are endless!
Like the other blocks included in my Blocks 2 Quilt series, this patchwork quilt block is easy to make, requires no special tools or templates, and utilizes strip piecing. To show you just how easy, I put together this quick video.
There are a few smaller-sized pieces required on the 6″ finished block so please keep that in mind when sewing.
The Firecracker quilt pattern is available for purchase in the shop. Just click the button below, add the pattern to your cart, and follow the prompts for checkout.

My security system won’t let me download the pattern. Have you had any troubles with the site?

I am sorry to hear that you were having trouble. We were not experiencing any security issues but I do remind folks that it is best to download all patterns directly from a desktop and not a mobile device.
