Layer cakes are a quilter’s dream come true! These 10” x 10” squares of precut fabric are a versatile and time-saving option for both beginner and experienced quilters. They typically come in coordinated collections, making it easy to achieve a cohesive look without the guesswork of pairing fabrics yourself.
Check out these gorgeous and bright layer cakes! The one on the left is Kaffe Fassett x the Original Morris and Co. and the one on the right is Wild Poppies from Robert Kaufman.
One of the greatest things about layer cakes is their versatility. You can use them as-is to showcase bold prints or cut them into smaller shapes like half-square triangles, four-patch blocks, or strips for endless design possibilities. The larger size also allows for minimal waste compared to smaller precuts, making them a cost-effective choice for quilters who love to get the most out of their fabric.
These gorgeous layer cakes will turn into beautiful quilts! The one on the left is Grandpa’s Journal by Julie Letvin for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. You can find it here! The one on the right is Beach House Sundaes by Edyta Sitar for Andover Fabrics. You can find it here!
Another benefit? They’re a huge time-saver! With layer cakes, there’s no need to spend hours cutting fabric. You can dive straight into sewing, which is especially helpful when you’re short on time or eager to start a new project.
These two patterns are both layer-cake-friendly. So cute! You can find Heart to Heart by clicking here and you can find Scrappy Anvil by clicking here!
