This PDF paper pieced pattern is called “Dragonfly.” I have a thing for daylilies and have quite the collection of them in my garden in all shades from yellow to pink and purple. Dragonflies seem to love to land on the stalks once the flowers are spent. That was the inspiration for this block! The finished block measures 10″ x 10″.

I designed this block as it is oriented on the pattern cover. However, you can easily turn your completed block to make the dragonfly point in whatever direction you wish. A set of 4 of these facing toward the center would make a great 20″ pillow cover.
