Just ONE Layer Cake ~ A Quilt Pattern

Some time ago I stashed my first layer cake, Dream On by Urban Chiks for Moda.  It has been quietly waiting for inspiration to strike and I have finally challenged myself to make a quilt with just ONE layer cake and a single solid fabric. 

Take 1 - A Layer Cake Quilt
Quilt measures 50.5 inches x 62.5 inches

I quickly learned that there wasn't much room for experimentation with my Layer Cake fabrics, and worked out really easy (and quick) cutting and sewing technique to ensure that no fabric was wasted.   When all was said and done, there were a handful of scraps leftover.


This quilt has been quilted with diagonal lines (again!) from edge to edge, a sharp and clean look that I am still loving.  Less is more.


I had so much fun working just how to get the most out of my Layer Cake that I have written a full pattern for this - the Take 1 ~ A Layer Cake Quilt.


You can find the Take 1 ~ A Layer Cake Quilt  Pattern in my Etsy Store
 
The pattern (a pdf file) fabric requirements can be substituted with any other Layer Cake or scrap fabric.   The pattern  includes detailed tutorials and step by step cutting and piecing photographs.

Patterns purchased from my Etsy Store are available for immediate download (upon payment being made).


All Red Pepper Quilts Patterns (pdf files) are now also available here:


Thank you for stopping by and Happy Stitching!
