I am such a sucker for the easy quilts. It allows you to showcase gorgeous fabrics, it's fast!, uncomplicated ... and especially perfect when you need one quickly! LOVE THIS!
Best way I've seen yet to showcase those layer cakes you just can't bear to cut! Fabulous and quick gift, too! Thanks for another terrific idea and video, Kimberly.
Thanks for this and the "mock-ups". I was disappointed that all the mock-ups featured smaller prints. It seems like this would be an opportunity to use Anna-Marie or Kaffe. It would be lovely to see a mock-up in a larger print to see what was necessary for balance in the quilt when using such large squares and using large scale prints. I appreciate all your videos so much.
Thank you Kimberly, for showing how to do the scant 1/4"! I've been waiting for someone to explain this. I also like how you explained the cutting and measuring. I think us beginners sometimes need the basics. I'm a visual learner and need videos to improve my quilting. I love your style and demonstrations! You're the best!
love this POP! of colour. This is a great pattern to feature layer cakes with large scale prints. I like how you showed alternate fabric selections at the end.
This pattern would be perfect for a large print fabric!! My daughter has fabric with large poinsettias on it and cream gold scroll fabric! This will be perfect!
Love this pattern! I have had a layer cake for years that I didn’t want to cut up into small pieces. This pattern is perfect for it. Thank you, and have a happy holiday.
Hi Kimberley and all at the FQS🙋🏼♀️ I just loved the simplicity of this pattern so I grab a layer cake that I've been debating what pattern to choose for it for the longest time and starched and made the initial cuts. When it came to sewing the first 9' strip, no problems but when I stitched the second on it seemed to always turn out too short to square it up at 11', whilst using a scant quarter inch. I unpicked it tried again, still no better. So in order to get the accuracy I cut the second strip at 11.5' and stitched it with the strip on the bottom which seems to have solved the problem. My measurements were all accurate but I think this gives a little wiggle room for squaring up. This is just my feedback not a complaint or criticism in anyway. I just thought it might help others who want to make this great pattern. Thanks so much. Happy stitching💗
love the look of this pattern. many times i dont know what to do with a single layer cake. this is a great design idea. reminds me of a picnic quilt.also thanks for the mock ups at the end. that was a great idea bc it helps me visualize other color possibilities. 🐿
Love it I was needing a very quick quilt for Christmas this year kind of running out of time but this will work thank you I starch all my fabrics makes cutting easier looking forward to more ideas
🧵🪡♥🎉 This pattern & video have come along at the purrfect 😸 time! I was looking through Pinterest for an easy yet interesting design, this quilt fits both criteria. Thanks so much for taking the time to make a video for us!
This is my first time watching your videos, I love how easy you make it look and the way you teach. Definitely will save this pattern, I like easy put together patterns for my tops. Thanks for sharing.
I love the quilt . Great quilt for any occasion. Also I love the music with the voices in background. Would love to know the name of the music and who performs it. It’s so up beat.
What a lot of mucking around for the simplest pattern. No starching needed, no trimming back needed. Moda fabrics don’t shrink when quilted and washed. Precuts are there to be ready to go.
This is a great pattern for showing off the fabrics. I am confused at why it is necessary to trim the 10" squares down to 9"? Couldn't we just use the 10" squares?
Hello Carol Sue! Quilt Layer Cakes are collections of 10" x 10" squares of quilting fabric made by Moda Fabrics. They are similar to a Charm Pack but a larger size. Layer Cake fabric is available by collection and typically includes 42 pieces of quilt fabric, though the number may vary.Layer Cale Tumble is the name of the pattern demonstrated in this video.
This is similar to the Lollies Quilt isnt it? @Fat Quarter Shop, did I offend you with my question? You've answered all others statements and questions yet, avoided mine.
Hello Elisabeth! You didn't offend us we were working on getting you an answer. The Layer Cake Lollies Quilt is more difficult than the Layer Cake Tumble Quilt. They both use layer cakes but that is the only similarity.
I am such a sucker for the easy quilts. It allows you to showcase gorgeous fabrics, it's fast!, uncomplicated ... and especially perfect when you need one quickly! LOVE THIS!
This is a great idea for a layer cake fabric that you love and really want to show it off!
Agree. So quick and easy!
Best way I've seen yet to showcase those layer cakes you just can't bear to cut! Fabulous and quick gift, too! Thanks for another terrific idea and video, Kimberly.
If you reversed the fabric choices with printed strips and solid squares, this would be a lovely canvas for some applique work! Great quilt! ❤️👍🏻💫
Or embroidery on the squares.
Great beginner pattern and fun way to use special fabric! I loved that you showed different fabric ways, so useful!
This would even be a great quilt for larger scraps. Quick, fun and another great pattern from FQS! Thank you.
Thank you! You are always so generous with ideas and patterns❤️❤️
Great quilt and I love seeing the different fabrics used in the pattern. Thanks!!
Thanks for this and the "mock-ups". I was disappointed that all the mock-ups featured smaller prints. It seems like this would be an opportunity to use Anna-Marie or Kaffe.

Thnk you, Kimberly! This solves a problem I had with finding the perfect pattern for a mermaid layer cake!!!
Kimberly, this is a really cute, fast, easy quilt--perfect for beginners and/or the time constrained.
Thank you Kimberly, for showing how to do the scant 1/4"! I've been waiting for someone to explain this. I also like how you explained the cutting and measuring.

You are correct. That is the easiest and cutest quilt ever. Can't wait to make it. Lots of love. Texas quilter!! Ms. A❤
Sometimes it's difficult to choose a simple pattern to show off the fabrics. This is definitely a giftable quilt. Thanks!❤️
Fantastic… haven’t been this excited about starting a new project in a long time! Thank you so much.
Hey thanks for showing different color ways too!

GREAT, east quilt for my beginner self!! I love it!!💕
Love it Kimberly!! I also want to mention that I really like the music your team adds to the videos!!!
Happy mother's day!!!. The best mother's day gift is just around family and having a moment to unwind and sew.
This pattern would be perfect for a large print fabric!! My daughter has fabric with large poinsettias on it and cream gold scroll fabric! This will be perfect!

Love that your letting the “silver hair “ come in! I don’t use the G word 😁. I love HB hair products…..Hair Biology.
I love the way she teaches us.

Such a great idea.

Beautiful quilt!!
This looks like a great easy quilt. Thanks for the free pattern.
Thank you😊
You are so talented thank you for tutorial
This is a really cute quilt and I like that it’s easy.
Kimberly, what a great pattern! I just received a lot of fabric for Project Linus. I'm going to use this pattern to make up several kits.
Thank you FQS❤
Nice job! Thank you!
❤❤❤
This would look great with a couple of Lori Holt’s fabric lines.
I love the quilt . Great quilt for any occasion. Also I love the music with the voices in background. Would love to know the name of the music and who performs it. It’s so up beat.
My friend calls this the "L and 7" quilt because that's how to remember to turn the blocks.
What a GREAT tip to help sort the block orientation! Thank you for sharing the "L and 7"!!
Oooo I could do this!
Thank you for replying to my comment on your other video it made it easy finding this thank you! What a great video🎉❤🎉
Love it
Very pretty 😍
So cute
When you starch the layer cake, do you lay them flat or hang them up to dry? Love the pattern and the cheerfulness of the quilt!!!
Hello Debra! Kimberly uses a drying rack: amzn.to/35VW1AJ
What a lot of mucking around for the simplest pattern. No starching needed, no trimming back needed. Moda fabrics don’t shrink when quilted and washed. Precuts are there to be ready to go.
This is a great pattern for showing off the fabrics. I am confused at why it is necessary to trim the 10" squares down to 9"? Couldn't we just use the 10" squares?
Hello Nancy! You don't have to trim down if you don't want to.
I love this pattern. I’m a beginner and I’ve never sewn a scant quarter inch seam (on purpose 😂). How do you make sure your seams don’t fray?
Hello Mary! Kimberly starches to help prevent fraying.
So cute! how would I size down to crib size quilt? Can I do 4 blocks by 4 blocks? 16 all together?
Hello Stephanie! We have not done the math to figure out how to make a crib size quilt but you are welcome to try it.
It’s beautiful! Might have to order the birdsong collection! What is the background used in the photo? Thank you
Hello kutepookie! We used aWhite Bleached Bella Solids Junior Jelly Roll: www.fatquartershop.com/white-bleached-bella-solids-junior-jelly-roll
What kind/brand of starch do you find works best?
Hello Stephanie! Kimberly uses Faultless Starch: amzn.to/3RYY4WK
Did you wash the fabric first?
Hello Donna! No, Kimberly does not pre-wash her fabric.
How many 10 inch layer cake blocks In this pattern for a queen size ?
Hello Mary! We have the information in the Layer Cake Tumble Shortcut Quilt Pattern - bit.ly/3RYoDLG
I am not sure why you are cutting thr layer cake down. Can I just use the 10” square and sew on the two 2 1/2” strips. Thanks
Hello Tadi3a! You don't have to cut down.
Do you have a baby quilt measurement ?
Thanks!
Hello Anita! The smallest size that we have for this pattern is 63.5" x 63.5"
Yes I saw that and why I was asking first the smaller quilt. Thanks for your reply!
When you say you "starch" first. do you mean to say that you "wash and starch"? Thanks!
Hello Ace! Kimberly does not pre-wash her fabric she starches it as soon as she gets it.
I am a newbie at this sorta. I've made simple quilts with squares. What is a layer cake tumble?😕 I know what a jelly roll is.
Hello Carol Sue! Quilt Layer Cakes are collections of 10" x 10" squares of quilting fabric made by Moda Fabrics. They are similar to a Charm Pack but a larger size. Layer Cake fabric is available by collection and typically includes 42 pieces of quilt fabric, though the number may vary.Layer Cale Tumble is the name of the pattern demonstrated in this video.
Can you please give more information regarding starching.
Hello AdeptJR! Wer have a playlist available here: czcams.com/play/PLNTabBf7OG9LDzKJXdHaCHUT1zRXevmDU.html
This is similar to the Lollies Quilt isnt it?
@Fat Quarter Shop, did I offend you with my question? You've answered all others statements and questions yet, avoided mine.
Hello Elisabeth! You didn't offend us we were working on getting you an answer. The Layer Cake Lollies Quilt is more difficult than the Layer Cake Tumble Quilt. They both use layer cakes but that is the only similarity.
@@FatQuarterShopTX thank for getting back to me. I will definitely have to try this pattern. Make it into a 16" pillow?
Not sure about prewashing. Are you saying to pre wash all fabrics? How do you prewash a jelly roll?
No prewashing
Hello Char! Kimberly does not pre-wash her fabric.
Will it be okay to not cut them down?
Hello Kurt! You are not required to cut them down.
👍👏🥰🌸🇦🇺
refuse to use patterns that call for a "SCANT" 1/4" seam...all the way or NO way!
I very much enjoy the Shortcut Quilt patterns. Thanks so much!! 💜
