“Summer Nights” firefly quilt. 38 1/2 x 48 inches
Here is my finished “Summer Nights” firefly quilt! (Clearly it isn’t summer here at the moment)!! The firefly fabric is from the “Let Your Light Shine” line by Blank Fabric Corporation. The information about how to make this quilt is in my previous post.
It’s a small lap quilt, 38 1/2 x 48 inches. The quilting is straight line, 1/8 inch, just to the right of the blocks, following the grid of the quilt. There is one yellow “light” block with a free-motion quilted initial of the child to whom this quilt will belong.
Here is the quilt’s label. I incorporated the fabric’s name from selvedge in the label.

The bright-lights-in-the-night theme is carried on in the backing fabric.
Starry backing fabric
This was a fun project which I especially enjoyed making. And it comes with a little secret which won’t be evident until the light are out—the fireflies fabrics are glow-in-the-dark! Best surprise ever!!
