Welcome, Quilt Block Mania fans, to my site Inflorescence Designs. I am so joyful you are here! This is my fourth month doing Quilt Block Mania and I am really excited to bring you fun and free blocks each month. Each month will feature a quilt block you can get for FREE by subscribing to my Blog. I have eliminated the subscribing temporarily. I have had issues with my email subscription site. You can get the pattern using the link below. HOWEVER! please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. By subscribing, you will get my Sparkler Pincushion pattern for FREE. I send out a monthly newsletter with what is up and coming as well as possible other free patterns and coupons to use in my shop.
The blocks might be traditional pieced, paper pieced or applique (I love doing all of these techniques). Don’t worry though, I wont’s send a bunch of emails. I will be sending ONE email a month and if you subscribe, you won’t have to worry about visiting my site for the QBM free block, because I will personally send it to you at lease one or more days BEFORE it releases! This months theme is BUGS! I have created a fun summer bug jar.
Do you call them LIGHTENING BUGS or FIREFLIES???? I would love to hear what you call them. Leave a comment below with what you call them and where you are in the world!
This block is no longer a free download. You can find the full pattern in my shop. Thank you for supporting my small business.
Type “Quilt Block Mania” in the search bar to see what block is free this month!

Hi — your block is adorable — we called them lightning bugs!! I’m from west central Indiana
I call them fireflies! Cute pattern. Thx.
Cute pattern, I would never have thought to put the bug in a jar!
We called them fireflies born and raised in North Carolina. Sad thing though we don’t have them in Utah.
I am from 30 miles south of Chicago in Illinois and we call the Lighting Bugs. Thank You for the wonderful block. I love lighting bugs.
Cute!
When I was a kid we called them lightening bugs now I call them fireflies I am from Rochester NY
