Pattern 1: Disappearing Nine Patch
The Disappearing Nine Patch pattern is a versatile and popular choice for quilting with layer cakes.
To create this stunning design, arrange your layer cake squares in a nine-patch design. Then, carefully cut the block into quarters and rotate each quadrant. The end result is a complex-looking pattern that is surprisingly easy to create.
Pattern 2: Stack and Whack
The Stack and Whack pattern is a fun and visually striking option that is great for showcasing large, bold prints found in layer cakes.
To create this pattern, stack your layer cake squares on top of each other, making sure all the prints are aligned. Then, cut through all the layers to create identical wedges. Rotate and rearrange these wedges to form a kaleidoscope-like pattern. Each quilt made with this pattern is unique and vibrant!
Pattern 3: Trip Around the World
The Trip Around the World pattern is a classic and timeless design that can be easily accomplished with layer cakes.
To make this pattern, arrange your layer cake squares in a square grid with a color gradient. Starting from the center, sew together diagonal strips of squares in each color, working your way outward. The result is a beautiful and harmonious quilt that gives the illusion of circles expanding from the center.
This looks so fun!
