Fireworks Quilts in Cottage Cove by Connecting Threads!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Have you seen the new Cottage Cove fabric collection by Connecting Threads?  It is a beautiful red, white, and blue group of fabrics, including florals, ditties, tone-on-tones, and plaids.  

Today I'm sharing the Fireworks quilt pattern mocked up in Cottage Cove, with a special treat of two options for the background color - Navy and White!

The Fireworks quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Fireworks Quilt Pattern Features


  • Includes 6 sizes - Baby / Wall Hanging, Lap, Throw, Square Queen, Rectangle Queen, and King
  • FQ friendly
  • Accuquilt die size friendly (instructions on using the cutter to make this quilt are NOT included in the pattern)
  • Skill Level:  Confident Beginner


Curate Your Own Fireworks Quilt Kit


The Fireworks pattern has not been kitted by Connecting Threads in Cottage Cove, but you can easily gather the fabrics you need!  Here is a list of what you'll need to make the Throw size at 64" x 80".  The fat quarters use are the same in both quilts, white and navy backgrounds; only the Binding fabric is different.  

All in-stock Cottage Cove fabrics can be found at this link right here.
  • Fireworks quilt pattern for complete details
  • Solid Navy for background - search for 91128
  • Little Flare in Glacier FQ
  • Picnic Daisies in Navy FQ
  • Summer Sprouts in Blush FQ
  • Summer Sprouts in Lt Glacier FQ
  • Stitches in Lt Crimson FQ (+ 5/8 yard for binding quilt with Navy background only)
  • Stitches in Blue Jay FQ (+ 5/8 yard for binding quilt with White background only)
  • Stephanie in Blue Mist FQ
  • Stephanie in Pale Crimson FQ
  • Little Flare in Taupe FQ
  • Stephanie in Navy FQ
The Fireworks fabric requirements for all quilts sizes is shown below, so you can easily curate the fabric for other quilt sizes.  There are 18 fabrics in the Cottage Cove collection.  I suggest leaving out Little Flare in Pale Crimson if using a White background.  For the larger sizes, double up your favorite prints, or fill in with your stash.  Remember to check out the wide backing in the Cottage Cove collection also!  It's cheaper than yardage and simpler to use.




The Fireworks quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
