Another Shortcut Quilt pattern is fresh off the Fat Quarter Shop presses! This time, we’re bringing you Layer Cake Lily, this enchanting quilt pattern is available in three sizes and will have a smile blooming across your face every time you sit down to work on it. Which size do you think you’ll make? A large lap, a small lap, or a twin?
The Layer Cake Lily Quilt Pattern
Layer Cake Lily is a beginner friendly quilt that uses just two Layer Cakes and some background fabric. Since our Shortcut Quilts use precuts, you can be piecing your quilt in no time! Your Layer Cake Lily quilt can even be just like ours if you pick up the Layer Cake Lily Quilt Kit and matching Backing Set.
Our Shortcut Quilt patterns are always free, and they come with a Fat Quarter Shop YouTube video tutorial. If you have two Layer Cakes sitting in your stash, you can start quilting up Layer Cake Lily today!
We sewed ours with Enchantment by Sweetfire Road for Moda Fabrics because the light floral hues paired sew sweetly with the distinctly tulip-shaped blocks. We knew this quilt would help us savor summer as the season comes to a close.

Love Lily. Next time I would like to see a pattern using jelly roll strips. I have soooo many of those.

I have 2 tula pink layer cakes I’ve been dying to cut into! I love love love the dark backgrounds and may give that a go!
Thank you so much for your free patterns! I’ve used several in my quilts.
