βοΈ WELCOME! βοΈ Join me for this FUN quilt tutorial made from 2 layer cakes! Is your LAYER CAKE π° stash out of control??? Mine is and it's time to make some quilts! I'm so excited to share this tutorial. Today's projects are number 7 and number 8 in this layer cake series! This is a great way to get some LAYER CAKES moved on to their next life. This plan is intermediate because of the curves.
HOW LONG DID *TWO* QUILT TOPS TAKE ME?
The applique leaves are optional of course, so I wanted to outline how long each step took me:
40 minutes: Open packs and press flat
60 minutes: Stacking 8 and cutting the curves
3 hours 15 minutes: Stitching curves and pressing blocks flat
30 minutes: Test block with applique leaves
60 minutes: Making lots of applique leaves
20 minutes: Sorting blocks and clipping first block of each row
90 minutes: Applique leaves to 11 blocks
50 minutes: Trim all blocks to 9 inches
45 minutes: Making 14 individual rows
45 minutes: Putting rows together to complete two quilt tops
TOTAL WITH APPLIQUE: 10 hours 35 minutes
TOTAL WITHOUT APPLIQUE: 7 hours 35 minutes
DETAILS ON MEASURING: The blocks are 9" x 9" after squaring up, and the quilt top is 6 blocks by 7 blocks. The total measurement on this top is a little less than 54" x 62". A very nice lap or child quilt size. I used ALL 42 SQUARES of TWO LAYER CAKES packages to complete TWO QUILT TOPS. Stay tuned as I continue to work through my layer cake stash!
