LAYER CAKE QUILTS
If ya ask me, the only thing a little, itty bit better than a quilty layer cake we can eat.
...is one we can make into a quilt! Especially because I have this Chistmas Layer Cake just waiting to be made into a cozy winter quilt for around the fire:
I have never used a layer cake before Val. I prefer to choose all my own fabrics, so I am not so attracted to those packets of fabrics that are chosen for you. I'm sure it's nice to have the pieces cut already though, :0)
ReplyDeleteI found myself collecting a few when I first starting quilting. Made learning easier. Now I just appreciate having something quick and easy to play with sometimes. :)
DeleteI love using pre-cut fabrics. They're so versatile. Thanks for this link-up. I can share more when you do charm squares. He he! :)
ReplyDeleteNever bought a cake that was not edible! ;)
ReplyDelete...and only if the cake has real frosting...no cool whip frosting for this girl!
DeleteI've only made one layer cake quilt and it wasn't the most positive experience. The layer cake didn't work well in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a layer cake....I have made them, but never more then 2 layers!
ReplyDeletehi Val! Good idea for a link party. Everyone wants to learn a new layer cake idea. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI've never bought layer cakes because you really can't wash the fabric before using them and I *have* to pre-wash fabrics. Not only am I concerned about fabrics running and differences in shrinkage, but I don't like the feel of fabric until it's been washed! I've been cutting a strip off every fabric I buy (after it's washed and ironed) and at some point I'll use those in a jelly-roll kind of quilt. I guess you could say I make my own jelly rolls! ;)
ReplyDeleteVal, Thanks so much for having this link up post. After reading about it I looked through my blog for my layer cake quilt and realized I had never shared it there so I rectified and just did an entry yesterday and actually took photos too. I didn't have any pics of that quilt and it's huge.
ReplyDeleteThis layer cake fabrics looks fantastic and I just love the whimsy of Aneeley Hoey designs. Thanks for the chance and Merry Christmas.
I have never made a layer cake quilt so no entry for me, but it's always fun to see what other people have made! Thanks for hosting this linkup.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! I have a few layer cakes that I need to do something with and now I have inspiration!
