Have you ever wanted to go off-script with your quilting? Like break out of the mold and do something a little bit… unexpected? To celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day on March 19, we’re encouraging you to cut loose in your sewing room and bake up something new. It’s all about cake… Layer Cake, that is.
I don’t know about you, but is there anything better than a 10″ stack of fabric? Layer Cakes go by several names depending on the manufacturer, but they’re basically a 10″ x 10″ square with about 42 different fabrics.
A “big sis” to Charm Packs, they’re the perfect precut in so many ways. 10″ squares are small enough there are no folds, so there is no need to iron them, and the fabric size is large enough to use for most patterns.
Layer Cake Lotto Challenge
For our celebration this year, we’re taking 10″ squares and turning them into something beautiful, fun, and unique. We want to invite you to get creative with 10″ x 10″ squares by issuing a challenge to the worldwide quilting community to sew something with them!
What can you make with a 10″ square? Kimberly put her creativity to the test by making a quilt with Layer Cakes in one day!
If you’d like to try this yourself, check out the video for a chance to win a $100 Fat Quarter Shop gift card! Find all the contest details in the description box of the video.

The winners, chosen at random, have been notified.

Can we get a pattern for your quilt your made, please? It’s darling!!
Thank you! The method for making the quilt is shown in the video.I hope you’ll be able to watch it and follow along!
Would you please point me to a pdf of this quilt cutie? Thank you! ❤️
Hi Judy, I think Kate already replied to you, but just to be sure, I wanted to let you know that we did not make a PDF of this quilt. You can see the quilt more in the video on YouTube specifically if you click on the chapter titled “Layer Cake Lotto Rows and Quilt Top” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btELcZS7IGg&t=477s
You have great taste! For this quilt in particular we didn’t make a PDF pattern. The method for making the quilt is shown in the video. I hope you’ll be able to watch it and follow along!
Hi, I just wanted to double check about entering the giveaway – does it have to be a current range of fabric? And would a junior layer cake (from Ruby Star Society) count or would I need to use one which has 40+ squares?
Thanks!
