What Is a Layer Cake?

Yellow Stitching

A layer cake is a pre-cut bundle of fabric pieces that are typically used in quilting. Layer cakes are pre-cut into perfectly square shapes, which makes them ideal for quilting projects that require precise measurements and cutting. These bundles are made up of 15-30 pieces of fabric in various colorways, with each piece measuring five-10 inches square.

What Size Quilt Can I Make With a Layer Cake?

The size of the quilt you can make with a layer cake will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the fabric pieces, the number of pieces in the bundle, and the design of the quilt. In general, a layer cake can be used to make a variety of different quilts, including lap quilts, baby quilts, and larger quilts, depending on how the pieces are arranged and how many additional pieces of fabric are added.

How Do I Choose a Layer Cake for My Project?

When choosing a layer cake for your quilting project, you should consider the colorways and patterns included in the bundle, as well as the size of the pieces. Think about the overall design you want to create and look for a bundle that includes colors and patterns that will work well together. You should also consider the size of the pieces, as smaller pieces may require more work than larger pieces.
