Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing my Firework Fizz Quilt with Bee Plaids designed by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs. I just love this bright, fun, and scrappy version. Firework Fizz Quilt - Bee Plaids can be made with fat quarters or (1) 10" stacker.

I absolutely LOVE all the happy and cheerful prints! Plus I recognize a few of my favorite Lori Holt prints that are introduced in new colors - yay! I'm SEW glad Bee Plaids is a Riley Blake Designs Basic so I can keep ordering my favorite prints!

The original Firework Fizz Quilt pattern uses 9 fat quarters, but as I couldn't decide on just 9 Bee Plaid Prints .... I updated the pattern for a scrappy version! For the scrappy Firework Fizz Quilt version - you can use (1) Bee Plaid 10" stacker. The 10" Stacker is one of my favorite precuts as I am able to receive at least (1) print of the entire collection at a more affordable price!

Did you notice the secondary block pattern that appears? I love the movement that is created in the quilt!

I chose to add a scrappy outer border as it would be more fun with the quilt design. I matched the colors of the outer border with the rainbow arrangement of the blocks. The scrappy binding was a fun addition as I was able to use my scraps as I sewed my quilt with yardage.

Half-square triangles Tips!

Each Firework Fizz block contains 12 half-square triangle blocks. I think the half-square triangle is one of the most versatile block/shape and I love a perfect one!

*Tip 1 – Make the half-square triangle block a bit larger and trim to size. I love the Bloc-Loc half-square triangle ruler for this method.

*Tip 2 – Use the desired size of AccuQuilt GO! half-square triangle die. THIS is my favorite method as it is so quick, accurate, and no trimming needed!
