- 🍁 Let's Make A Layer Cake Quilt! 🍁
We will use just one layer cake to make this stunning quilt top. Come along to have some quilting fun as we explore this free pattern and free quilting tutorial.
You can use whatever fabric layer cake you'd like (even scraps!) to make this beauty. Although this looks like a disappearing nine-patch, it isn't. It is much easier, too!
This is the fabric line I used in this tutorial: Forest Frolic by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics
Color Tool with Ruby Beholder: Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool
Here are the supplies you will need:
(1) Layer Cake or (36) 10" Squares (18 Light/18 Dark)
Rotary Cutter
Ruler: 9" or larger
Helpful: 6.5" Ruler
General Sewing Supplies:
Sewing Machine, Iron,
Matching Thread, etc.
Let's get starting sewing some patchwork!

Finished my entire quilt top today. I have NEVER matched seams as well as I have with this quilt. I have never had someone explain in such easy terms, the process of squaring up the blocks. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! YAY! I am so happy this tutorial was helpful! That's what it is all about! I just did the Happy Dance in my living room! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Thank you so much for sharing and your kindness AND for making this quilt! You made my day! ❤️
This looks perfect for the lap quilt I'm making for my sweet mother-in-law. I cut at home and sew on our RV, so it will be a great on-the-road project. Thank you for explaining how you square the block. I have never had it explained so well!
YAY! I love that you are going to make it! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love a clear concise RUclips. Well done 🧵
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! ❤️
You have worked really hard to make this video to share with us, so thank you so much 👍 Love how your quilts turned out 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you so much! It is a labor of love. ❤️ More tutorials to come!
love the idea of making something look complicated when it only takes a few minutes of fancy cutting the fabric! Thanks for a great quilt idea
You are so welcome! Glad it is helpful!
I'm a Project Linus Coordinator in California and I am always looking for free patterns my volunteers can use. This is perfect! Easy but looks complex! Beautiful job!
Oh my goodness! This makes me so happy!!! Thank you for all you do! ❤️
I just finished a quilt top using the Double Slice Layer Cake. I think I will use this pattern for my next quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful! Yay! You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Being a newbie this looks so easy. I love the layer cake colors that you did in scraps. I think it’s great to also do the scrappy version. Because color and values are so much harder in the beginning. Thanks for the quilt demo. And I think it’s great to show us older quilts. 😊
So happy you like my videos! Welcome to quilting. Such a wonderful hobby! ❤️
Touché
love that your layer cake pattern actually needs & uses most of a layer cake square. (I've ran into too many that could be made with a jelly roll or 5 inch squares instead. Pet peeve of mine.)
So glad you like this! I have the same pet peeve! I never know what to do with those left over blocks or strips. So frustrating. ❤️
A beautiful quilt. Sometimes a finished quilt that is quick to accomplish is what I need to make. Thank you!
My pleasure! I agree! Sometimes you just want to sew. Thank you so much for watching!!🥰
I'm just getting back to quilting after 20ish years. This tutorial was so clear - I think after I finish my husband's 9 patch, I'll do this pattern. Love the quilting you showed on your sample table runner too. I don't have a long arm. I'm from the days of hand quilting, so everything will either be machine or hand quilted. Hoping to start now and make a quilt for all my family members (6 brothers, 2 adult children, and a niece), so I better get busy. Now if only quilting fabric hadn't gone up in price LOL
Welcome back to quilting! I love this! I don't have a longarm either, so I usually quilt on my domestic machine or send my quilts to a longarmer. I would love to learn to hand quilt. I have done a little bit of it, but not much. Glad you are back to quilting!
I love this quilt top ! I just found you today. I have always been partial to the Autumnal colors. The directions you give are right on point. I am subscribing today and can't wait to see more videos ! 😉
Oh, thank you so much! 🥰 I love that you are enjoying my content and that you subscribed! Thank you!! 🥰
It sounds like a quick way to make some Project Linus quilts.
This would be perfect for Project Linus or any charity quilts! Great ideas!
I make quilts for Project Linus also I look forward to trying this one😊
Thanks for the inspiration! Looks nice and easy but complex when done. What are you using for your design wall? I need one!
You are so welcome! I made one using Jenny Doan's technique! Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/FuzW68YyN_s/видео.htmlsi=cuEu7krnkA8FCv1z
I haven't mounted it to the wall yet, but I am planning to do that. Hope this helps!
Awesome
Easy, really EASY to make! I made three quilts in less than two weeks using this pattern. Great tutorial; easy to understand and follow.
Oh my goodness! Did you really? That is amazing! I would love to see them! My email is sewthedistance@gmail.com if you'd like to share photos (do NOT feel you have to!). Thank you so much! I love this! It really made my day. When I make tutorials, I never know if others will make the projects or not and am thrilled when they do. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰
Oh luv this quilt and robin Pickens fabric so pretty for fall luv your videos

Also, welcome to quilting! Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help! 🥰
Thanks for this great layer cake video. I appreciate the quick and through way you lay out the process and make sure to help us with how to make sure the blocks are squared up. Great for a layer cake that has many large flowers. I’ll be watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much! I am glad you like it! This would be perfect with big prints. I may have to try that. ❤️
I like the idea of almost zero waste. The quilt turn out gorgeous, thanks for sharing

Beautiful , just went today and bought fabric to make a quilt. I am a new quilt maker and I know I will be doing a bunch of ripping out where I did it wrong. Love this new pattern you .❤😊

Beautiful job. I plan on trying to make this quilt soon. Thanks for the video!
You are so welcome! I love that you are going to make it. That is always the best compliment. ❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰
To check your values, use your cell phone on BLACK AND WHITE. I use this all the time now! Thank you forv this tip!!!
Yay! You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. ❤️
I love this quilt. I can't wait to try it. I guess if I wanted a queen size I would make more blocks and add them on.
So glad you love this! Yes, you could easily make this bigger with more blocks. Great idea!
I love the Forest Frolic line of fabric. Robin Pickens is one of my favorite designers. Keep waiting for it to go on sale at my local quilt shop. I like your pattern as it shows off the prints. I plan on using your method to use with a layer cake and appreciate the tips you gave on pressing and layout.
Isn’t it amazing? I love this line, too. It is a wonderful line of fabric. This is my first time working with Robin Pickens’ fabrics. I will definitely get other lines! I am now a fan!
Thank you! Great job! I am going to try this. ❤
You are so welcome! So glad you like it! ❤️
I love quilts that don't take weeks to make. I will definitely be trying this.
Yay! So happy you are going to make it! ❤️
Love that Robin Pickens line. Your quilt is beautiful. Thanks for the video. I can’t wait to make one.
You are so welcome!
YAY! I am thrilled you are going to make one! ❤️ Thank you so much!
I love this! Anytime I can chain piece, I am a happy camper!
Absolutely!! Chain piecing for the win! 😎 So glad you love this!
YOU KNOW COLOR LIKE AN ART TEACHER !!! GIVE YOU THREE CHEERS !!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND YOUR PASSION !!!
Oh, thank you so much! It took me many years to figure out colors in quilts. ❤️ Although with this project it is kind of easy since the bundle of fabric is already made for you. Still, I will take the compliment. 🥰
Beautiful, will have to try this!
Thank you! So glad you like it!
Yes I love the fabric and the pattern. The double slice is one I seem to always go to. And I love your spirit, SAS and genuine uniqueness.
I love Jenny Doan too, but you are a breath of fresh air. I look forward to finding more of your tutorials
WOW! Thank you so much! This made my day!
Jenny is a true pioneer in the field, specifically in the RUclips arena. I am honored to be in this space with her. I am so flattered by this comment! Thank you! 🥰
I have many more tutorials out there and many more to come! ❤️
My second quilt was the Double Slice Layer Cake (made my own stack of 63 squares from yardage). I also started a Disappearing 9-Patch (still in progress). I totally felt the light bulb flash on over my head while watching this video! Loved the squaring-up process you demonstrated! 🥰💐🎶
Yay! Thank you so much! I am thrilled that this has helped you. There isn't a lot of information out there on how to square up blocks. I am glad to be a small part of your quilting journey. 🥰
I love your pattern. I always lone it when there is at least 1 larger piece in each block, then you can see the beauty in the print.
Thank you so much! It is nice, isn’t it? And this fabric line is so pretty! 🍁
Great quilt , thanks for sharing. Enjoyed
Thank you so much! Glad you love it! Thank you for watching. 🥰
Love the tutorial. Easy, clear to understand. I like that it took only one layer cake.
Thanks so much! 😊 So happy it is helpful!
Bravo Great thank you for sharing and your zest!

You are so welcome! 🥰
Thank you! You are so sweet! I love that you love these projects!
Gonna make one! Have a whole bunch of scrappy 10” blocks just waiting 😊
That makes me so happy! I love that you will be making one! It will be great scrappy!
I really loved this video! I have a layer cake I have been saving for just the right pattern. I have over-thought it and tried to pick just the right pattern, but all I really want to do is get it into a quilt and use it. I think this is the perfect pattern! Thank you for sharing. I love the enthusiasm in your videos. I think I am going to be starching my layer cake tonight and getting it ready to go. One more project ready thanks to you!I am trying to use what I have before I buy more, and I have so many beautiful fabrics on my "to buy list" that I need to work on easy but cute projects.
Wow! Thank you SO much! I am thrilled that this quilt inspired you to use the layer cake you have been saving! This is so much fun to make. I think you will really enjoy it! Let me know if you have any questions! ❤️
Thanks love your instructions.
My pleasure! So glad you love this! Thanks for watching!

It is a great way to make usable precuts! Here's a link to my video on it: ruclips.net/video/NA4_ESAlPTA/видео.html
