Layer Cake Quilt

Layer cakes are not edible!  Fabric layer cakes are a collection of 10 inch squares from a fabric line by a designer.  In a casual conversation with a quilt shop owner, he mentioned that people often don't know what to do with Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

That comment reaches out to me as a challenge!  I own a couple of layer cakes and decided to turn that fabric into an easy to make quilt. 

Using a layer cake and some black fabric, I sliced off a 3 inch rectangle and attached it to a 1 inch black strip. 

Again, I sliced off a 3 inch strip and flipped it around to complete the block with another 1 inch strip of black between the sections. 

In the end, the after the cuts and reattached, the block will finish at 10 inches. 
Check back soon to see how I will finish the quilt.

Iyla's Dressed to the Nines

This is a favorite baby girl quilt.  I wish I could invent time as I could make them and have on the shelf!  It requires applique and blanke...
