Layer Cake Quilt

I’ve started a new quilt … it’s for my daddy and I’m using one Layer Cake.

Again, I’m using as many pre-cuts as I can to save my body any additional stress!!

The Layer Cake is called  Woven Petite Layer Cake French General for Moda Fabrics and I purchased it from the Fat Quarter Shop.  We have fabric stores locally …but they carry very few pre-cuts (Layer Cakes, Charm Packs, Honey Buns…etc).

I searched high and low for a Layer Cake that was man worthy (not sports, not little boy …. just a man…. that was also simple and not crazy colors)  I was thrilled when I found this one!!!   I think I need to order a few more before they are gone.

I’ve seen lots of patterns for Layer Cake quilts and I finally realized why I make my own patterns.  I simply can not understand the directions.  As hard as I try … my brain does not compute.  If there’s a video …. I can do it.  If not … I have to pass.  I went to the store last week and bought six magazines …. I was determined to try my hand at a new quilt pattern. I’ve gone through each magazine …multiple times and I can’t figure out where to start.   I’m not blaming them …. it’s totally my brain!!

So, this is another Angie original … (or it is in my mind because I’ve not seen this pattern).

Here it goes:

1. I took the 10 x 10 Layer Cake and cut it at 4″  .. giving me a 4 x 10 piece of fabric.  Set that aside.
2. Cut a piece that measures 6 x 6 … set aside .. and you are left with a piece that measures 6 x 4.

Here’s a picture of what I drew before I began cutting (ignore my Chic n Scratch handwriting).

Once all the pieces are cut …we’ll start placing them on my Design Wall.

See ya!

p.s. we woke up today with our heater not working … I swear when it rains it pours!!!   Our house is a whopping 58 degrees …. brrrrrr
