has got to go!
I finally decided on what to do with one of my layer cakes after seeing a quilt on the internet. They just used large blocks and sewed them together.
I took the stack of 42 apart and separated them into two piles. Layer cakes are 10" square to finish at 9 1/2".......if you use 4 across and 5 down you use 20 and the quilt will measure out to about 38 x 48".
The first layer cake had a nautical theme that would work for a child.
I've decided to concentrate on toddler quilts and lap quilts for the next little while. They will all be donated to Ronald McDonald House in Hamilton.
The first one I pulled from the box was Bartolo-meow's Reef........and it was terribly misspelled on the label for the packet, so it took me awhile to find it on the internet. Each of the fabrics were called something that you would quickly recognize as "from the sea"........there was kelp and coral, briny and water glacier, low tide and deep water.

This was the back label. Odd that no one noticed this before it was packaged and shipped out. That is not like Moda Fabrics at all. I love the way they show you all the ways you can cut up your layer cakes. Someday when I get another I just might try one of them.
I used this fabric for a pillowcase with sailboats on the cuff. It looked great............
see what I mean?
Wait until you see what I did with the other 20 pieces of fabric!
That's for tomorrow!
