I've never worked with a layer cake before, but judging from the amount of comments, they must be fun... I'm really not sure what I'd make! I'd have to get my hands on it first!

sarah said...

Looking through all these blogs makes me want to make a quilt and quick. I saw a 9-patch variation that would be so easy to do with a layer cake

Lisa said...

Fun fabrics! I don't quilt, but I do love making zipper pouches, so that is what I'd probably do with the fabric--though some might become little pillows!

BJ said...

This would make a cute baby quilt. Love the colors.

Deb (Two Cheeky Monkeys) said...

I am not particularly good at quilting or patchworking, so I would probably use this layer cake for making smaller projects such as small bags or pouches or even for making softies/plushies.
