Layer Cake

Bella Solids Snow Layer Cake

And now for this week’s giveaway: one lucky reader will win a  Moda Bella Solids Layer Cake in the Snow Color. I recently had to “borrow” one square of this layer cake. Since I couldn’t sell it with a missing piece, I decided it would be fun to give the remaining 41 squares to one of you!

So here are the details:

  • Leave your comment below telling me what you like to do with Layer Cakes
  • Giveaway is open to everyone near and far
  • Winner will be chosen at random next Wednesday, February 19th at Noon PST

    I’ve never owned a Layer Cake before, but I know they’d be wonderful for “filler” when cut down to 5-inch charm squares which I use a lot. Thanks for the chance!

    I’ve never used a layer cake before, but I would love to cut into these solids to make some pinwheels I’ve had in mind for a while!

    I normally don’t know what to do with layer cakes but a fabric manufacturer gave our guild tons of layer cakes of the dotty fabric. I took five packs and made “plus” signs, interlocking for a project Linus quilt. I’m thinking of tieing it instead of machine quilting it.

    I am very new to quilting so a layer cake was something I thought was a fancy cake… I can see how this type of layer cake would be handy in a quilt!

    Wow, that sounds awesome. I would love to have this set of fabrics–I would probably use them to enhance some printed fabrics I have–it looks like they would go together perfectly. Then I would have to look for a new and exciting pattern and probably make a sampler quilt, I love them!

    The last Layer Cake project I did I was on a fabric diet and had to cut my own squares. Not an issue, but it would be nice to have one on-hand. I often trim some of my fabrics so I have my own for scrappy projects.

    Right now I’m having such fun making a quilt from Carrie Nelson’s “Another Bite of Schnibbles” using 5″ charm squares, that I would use it in one of her 10″ layer cakes patterns. What an awesome book! And an awesome givewaway! I love neutrals.

    I love to use the snow with my pink scraps to make some half square triangle table runners. Love a quick project from time to time.

    I have some floral charm packs that I would love to use for a disappearing 4-patch. The layer cake of solids would make that possible.

    This layer cake would nicely fill in some gaps of my still rather small fabric stash. Kind of new to this world of quilting – and loving it more than I ever imagined. Reading blogs and seeing what other quilters are doing with their fabrics makes my creative juices flow. It has been a great way to spend this rather wicked winter. Can’t wait to mow my lawn again. Heck, I’d be happy just to see bare grass of any kind. 🙂

    The last time I used a layer cake it was to make a chevron quilt. This time around I’d still go with HSTs, but would play around with a more random pattern.

    I would use them in a project with / for some of my students who had a national math competition yesterday about patchwork of all things. Of course I brought some ” stuff” to show them before the competition started. I promissed them that the prettiest design they would come up with, I would turn into a mini quilt.

    The last quilt I made with a layer cake was a quilt with a square in the middle with a contrasting frame. It turned out very well.

    I don’t often use precut, but I have a charity project these would be perfect for. A group of friends and I are making small quilts and blankets for at the cats and puppies at out local animal shelter. I could mix these up with scraps and remnants and make some critters really happy.

    Would would I make? Hmmm…maybe try my hand an Anna Maria’s featherbed quilt. Snow would make a lovely background.

    A snow layer cake will blend with just about anything! I keep those handy and they have come in very handy! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    I’ve never used the color snow before, but I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s the best color. I’ve hot some cute prints to test that out!

    I almost can’t stand the thought of more snow! But I just know this snow will be far more fun to work with than the mountains of stuff lining my driveway!

    I’ve never had a layer cake, so I’ve never really thought about what to do with them! If I won this one (fingers crossed), I’d go look up patterns on pinterest probably!

    10 inch squares are great for making quick pinwheels/half square triangles. Sew 2 together on every side of the square then cut on the diagonals.

    I would love to use this pack on the background of a fall wall hanging that I have planned. The leaves would look amazing on this background.

    I like to cut a layer cake in half, then cut one half in half again to make 5″ squares, and with printed fabrics I will cut the 1 set of 5″ squares into 2.5″ mini charm squares. Giving me a big selection of pre-cuts to play with. I have never bought a solid color before though.

    I just watched a bunch of tutorials on You Tube using charms and layer cakes. I think it would be fun to make a quick and easy table runner. Love the giveaway, using 1 and leaving 41. That’s great. You are so fun
