I just received some layer cakes in the mail. Was planning on making your other layer cake pattern, but I like this one also and I have multiple cakes to choose from, thank you. I did cringe every time your hand moved until you closed your cutter. I have just recovered from a cut where my blade jumped my ruler.😊
When I was editing the video and saw the blade, I cringed, too. That is so unlike me! I cut myself years ago and know better. I hope your recovery went well. I love that you are going to make this one! So much fun! Thank you for watching and sharing. ❤️
This shows that you don't need a complicated pattern to make a beautiful quilt, you just need to choose the right fabric. And this is what you've done here. This fabric is lovely. Thanks for sharing the quilt and the runner. Both are stunning. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Hi Kris! Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! No power in my neighborhood for 36 hours, so now I need to catch up with my favorite quilt channels. It was so cold.
Yay! So glad you like this one and could catch up! Thank you for your kind words. Glad you have power now and are nice and warm. This weather has been crazy!
Hello there…new sub here. I have recently gotten back into sewing and purchased a jelly roll and a layer cake. I had no clue as to what I would make from it, so I went onto TH-cam, hoping to find a gentle soul and a good teacher for this beginner. Lol. I like what you did here and I think I’m going to give it a go…I know I’ll be referring to your video a couple times for reference, but that’s how I’m going to learn. Thank you for sharing this video! Cheers 😊
Yay! Thank you for subbing and watching. I have many videos that will help you, and this is a great choice, too! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help! Glad you have picked up sewing again! ❤️
Loved making your previous Just One Layer Cake quilt and am looking forward to making this one too!. That fabric is so lovely! Definitely got some Sew the Distance Bingo squares in this one-- "Set your seams." "I love, love, love it." "It's so pretty!"
😂😂😂 I love this! I should make up a downloadable PDF for viewers! I tend to say the same things, don’t I? I love, love, love that you are going to make this quilt! It really is so pretty! 🤩
Thank you so much! I sat with my precuts in the land of indecision and you have helped so much!! I’ve done the charm pack one, the other layer cake you showed, and plan on doing this as well. I like the way you demonstrate the techniques. Keep up the good work!!❤
Thank you so much! That's the best compliment! I always want to make sure people watching my tutorials can actually make the project. I am always thrilled when I hear this. Thank you! You made my day. 🥰
I love layer cakes (OK - I love precuts😄) and I really,like this particular layer cake! Not anywhere near my usual color box - which is a good thing as I’m trying to climb out of my usual colors!!! And this size is perfect for the ones my guild makes and donates to a children’s crisis center (kids and Moms - kids all the way up to teenagers!). And also,would be easy to size down! I’m fairly new to your channel so working my way through many of your videos! Ans honestly, I never even thought about pressing the diagonally sewn seams before cutting - works for me!! Thanks👍👍
You are so welcome! So glad you like my videos! 🥰 Wow, what a wonderful cause to make quilts for. Quilts are magical. I am sure your quilts have helped many. Thank you so much for watching my videos and sharing. ❤️
What an excellent project! Thank you for showing us and I will definitely sign up for your newsletter. You’re so much fun to listen to and you give us such good ideas.
How serendipitous! I just took a break, watched your new video (!!), and now I'm going back upstairs to continue pressing and trimming my layer cake pinwheel blocks! Thanks for the glee, lol! Abigail in beautiful New Hampshire
Woooohooo! I love when that happens! Thanks for sharing, Abigail! Love New Hampshire! We lived in Massachusetts for 27 years and my youngest son lives in Vermont. Such a beautiful area!
Glad I found your video! Thank you for sharing your expertise! Will definitely try this quilt! I am new to quilting and you inspired me with your video!
You are so welcome! I love that you love this one! It's a fun one to make. Let me know if you have any questions once you start making it. Happy to help!
I just found this video a few days ago and it's perfect for a layer cake I picked up on a recent shop hop! I'm halfway through the blocks and I love this technique! I also love that there is enough 'wiggle room' between the 10" precut and the finished block size So many patterns I've tried cut it too close for me (pun intended).
This is fun. I made my own layer cake to use up odd leftovers. I have found using a different color pen to mark the sew lines.( black center, green sew-on lines). Thank you.
Love this pattern!! ❤ Will definitely be making a quilt with some of the layer cakes I have. I also like the idea of a table runner with the extra squares. I normally buy 2 layer cakes of the same material, to make a bigger quilt. Now I know what to do with the extra layer cake fabric. Happy Quilting.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy this video! I love it that you made this with charm squares! When working up this pattern, I tried it with charms, too. They make adorable little hourglass blocks! Thanks for watching and sharing!
I love that fabric and quilt!! I especially love the table runner!! I have made more table runners and table toppers than anything else because I have so many places to use them!! Also wall hangings. I am working on a queen size quilt right now. I would definitely love to give this a go as well!! You are so much fun to watch!! Thank you for another great video and project!!
Oh, thank you so much! 🥰 You are welcome! I love making these videos and especially love making tutorials that are fun and easy to make. You are so sweet! Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 🥰

Love it ,my daughter passed away just before Christmas, she gave me a layer cake a few months before ,Im going to give this quilt a go ,Thanks Kris
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your loss. 🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter.
So sorry about your daughter. Praying for you now.
Oh my gosh.. bless your heart.
I absolutely love this layer cake! And I don’t know why, but I love watching you sort fabric!
Thank you! 😃
That fabric--ohhhh. I need more of it!
I hear your Set Your Seams voice comment in my head now. And think of you often as I sew.
😆 Set those seams! 😆 It does make a difference, doesn't it?
That is beautiful
Thanks.
Beautiful quilt & I have just the layer cake for it. I also thank you for showing how to square up a block!
You are so welcome! I am excited that you are going to make it!

I love both the table runner and quilt.
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
Kris you are a great teacher. I have not collected layer cake packs. But I definitely could do this pattern. I may get a pretty layer cake someday.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
You could always make your own 10” squares to make this, too. Just an idea. ❤️
Love the hour glass quilt it’s very pretty. A nice quick one for a retreat if you don’t have anything planned.
Thank you so much! I am glad you like it!
Great idea!! This would be perfect for a retreat!
I also love that layer cake!!
I made a quilt with that fabric line. It’s one of my favorites! So pretty.
It is an incredible line, isn't it? I love it! ❤️
Awesome directions for using a cake layer. This will definitely be my next project.
Yay! Thank you so much! I love that you are making it! 🥰❤️🥰
