This pattern is one of my go-to patterns whenever I have gorgeous layer cakes stashed. I love how simple it is to make, perfect for beginners, yet it looks so pretty. So, if you’re looking for a layer cake project, I highly recommend this one—you won’t regret it. Learn how to make it by watching the video tutorial below for the step by step instructions.

Materials:

• layer cake (10″ squares)
• 1/4 yard of background fabric

Directions:

Step 1

Subcut your background yardage into eight four 2 1/2″ squares. Then, with a 42-count layer cake, subcut two 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles and two 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangles. Repeat these to all your 42-count 10″ squares. Once you have everything cut, take one 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangle and one background 2 1/2″ square. On the wrong side of your background square, draw a line from corner to corner, then place the background square right sides together on the rectangle on the left side. Sew directly on that line. After sewing, cut a 1/4″ away from that line using a rotary cutter. Repeat these steps until you have made two matching print units.

Step 2

Once you have those two units, take two 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangles in the same print. Then, sew the 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles to the larger rectangle followed by your rectangle units to form an 8 1/2″ square. Repeat these steps until you have a total of 42 quilt blocks. Once you have all your blocks, lay them out side by side in a 6 x 7 layout, rotating every other block 90 degrees. Sew the blocks together to make rows, then sew those rows together to finish the quilt top.
