I don't often work with precuts, so when I purchased this layer cake from my local shop, I was at a bit of a loss on how to use it. In browsing though the web for a pattern, I noticed that most layer cake patterns are pretty simple in design. That can be really lovely, but it wasn't what I had in mind for these fabrics. So, I set out to design a pattern that had a little more glamour.
I love the shape of these blocks, as well as the pretty secondary design created. Best of all, as I mentioned in my last post, the lap size only requires one layer cake for a 60" x 75" quilt, and the queen size only requires two! If you're looking for a layer cake pattern that's a little beyond basic, I hope you'll check it out in my Etsy and Craftsy shops!
Alrighty! Time to check out some of the amazing eye candy linked up at our party two weeks ago! Sew Sunshine showed off her stunning Triumphal Arches quilt. There are lots of photos of it on the post, but I couldn't resist highlighting the one with the sun shining through.
I'm not a hand sewist, so I appreciate that any EPP project is a labor of love. This quilt, by Den syende himmel has been ongoing, and I love to see the progress.
And I love the simplicity of HST with the great color depth in this quilt by Quilting is in My Blood.
Okay friends- it's time to link up the latest happenings from your sewing space from the last TWO weeks. I can't wait to catch up!
1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
