Layer Cake Crepe from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

In April, I shared that I was working with the Fat Quarter Shop again on one of their short cut Quilt patterns. This time the pattern calls for a Layer Cake.

I decided to go with this lovely yellow and blue floral fabric. It is called Sunshine and Blue Skies. The free shortcut pattern is called Layer Cake Crepe.

You start by making these giant 9-patches.

I put a 9" block there to show you how big they actually are.

Here is the finished quilt. This is a great pattern for these large print fabrics that you hate to cut ...

I am finally able to share my finished quilt!

I used the Bee Grateful collection by Deb Strain (for Moda Fabrics). I thought some pretty photos in my garden was perfect for this bee inspired collection.

A Forgotten Finish from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I decided to get into the cabinet where I store my personal quilt collection and refold my quilts. I try and do this at least annually.

I pulled out this quilt and realized I have never shared this one on my blog.

I finished it back in 2016!

It is a design I came up with that used a layercake (I think). I had always planned on submitting it to a magazine or releasing the pattern myself. And somehow it got set aside and forgotten for over 4 years.

I might have to make another one of these days. I ...
