Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2024
- Layer Cakes are both wonderful and challenging. The fabric works together but not necessarily in the assortment we are given. I have a fast and easy system using symmetry to sew up those squares in your stash no matter the colour or the variety in the stack. So stick with me and I’ll show you how to do it.

It was a crazy week sewing three quilts and making a Stashbuster video...but it's finally done. I hope you can take this method for a test drive with some of the layer cakes in your stash.
Thanks Karen. Your videos always make so much sense. Keep sharing!
I am eager to begin! I start watching my grandsons (ages 4 and 7) next week, while my daughter goes back to being a teacher, and has a month of in service before her school starts. The boys’ adoption, after being in the family for 6 months, was official last week. Our DC area son and his wife and 5 year old were here for a week, partly because they felt safe being here, and mainly because their basement flooded, waist deep! It was the second time in a year! Rains are starting again, as they drive home. I could not complain about cleaning my sewing room and removing everything of any temptation, but between the travelers leaving and the little boys arriving daily, I must cram in a lot of sewing! This video has arrived at the perfect time! Oh - I have agreed to do the “distant learning” for the boys while their new mom is busy teaching at her own school. My free time might involve not cooking dinner!
Hi Karen, thanks for another fantastic video. May I ask though if you can put up how you made your design wall, I love that it can be moved. I already have made your ironing trolley, and this design wall would be an added bonus :)

I’m pretty sure I have watched all of your fast and easy blocks 70million times. CZcams should have a “yes, I watched it again” button.
I have been a Quilt Teacher for nearly 30 years and I owned a Quilt Shop for 15 years. That said, I learn new things with each of your videos. Thank you so very much!!! Design is my Achilles heel.
The best teachers are the ones who never stop learning. You must have a huge wealth of knowledge to share with your students! ❤️
You are the brainiac of quilting tutes, aren't you? I say, as a brainiac too, love how you study everything to death and share it all. I had to teach myself to quilt and tutes say, cut this, sew this, but all the info for ppl w/o hands on classes, are missing. Your tutes are so appreciated. Stay healthy and don't go away.
Thanks for all your help.
You got me at 'symmetry.' Your method of sorting, pairing, and laying out everything makes sense to my brain. Thank you again for another great tutorial.
✋
I too love a symmetrical quilt.
I don't have work tomorrow so it doesn't matter if I'm watching this at 5 in the morning. :D
Precuts are my favorite way to buy fabric. Jellyroll's are a particular favorite.
Edit: punctuation
Wow, you packed a lot into 12 minutes! This is one of those videos that I’ll save and come back to watch multiple times! You could make this a weekend retreat workshop!
Vera Matson wouldn’t that be fantastic! Missing quilting with a group. Maybe next year we will have some semblance of normal
I’d love a quilting retreat. I live in Texas though.
what a brilliant idea,i love quilting, i do my own designs but yours are great
This is by far my favorite quilting channel!Thank you!
Quilt assembly is one thing, design concepts with the constraints of 10 inch layer cakes is quite another. This is like philosophy class versus home economics class. Why to, rather than how to. Sorta, kinda. Ya know? Will watch again. Wonderful.
I love the folding to see what the block will look like....love your videos
I'm back over at this video after watching the Declutter Kits video. I found layer cakes to play with and had forgotten how inspired I was by this No Fail video until Karen mentioned it. Yee haw - now I know what to do AND that it will be fun.
Thank you. Now I can see myself delving into the one layer cake I could not resist. I really appreciate all the work you do for us. You are a wonderful teacher and inspiration to me. Thank you so very much. All the best to you and your family, especially your son.
I just found your channel a few weeks ago & I already find so many wonderful tips. Thank you! I am SO HAPPY I found this layer cake video. I’ve only been quilting a couple of years & I find picking out fabrics & layout to be very difficult. So, I thought I’d be cleaver & buy a layer cake for the very reason you mention, you get the entire fabric line so all go together. Easy peasy, right? NOT! I also found as you mention different quantities of one print, & sometimes only one square of one fabric (usually the one I love most). Honestly my head hurt trying to arrange all the beautiful fabrics out in a quilt that it almost broke me lol😊I really thought a layer cake would solve my problem of fabric selection & layout.
This will help so much. It’s still going to be a challenge for me because I am so new to all this but I am so addicted to this hobby. Your step by step instructions & ideas are going to be such a help. Thank you again. Also, you have the nicest voice, very soothing & easy to listen to you. 😊
Brilliant again Karen. Now to attack all the layer cakes I’ve been tempted into buying! Keep safe.
Wow, what a lot of work you've put into this! Fantastic quality as always.
That last orange design came up and my jaw literally dropped! I was so happy when you chose that one. Great methods for design. Thanks Karen.
Wow, Karen! Great video. I'm going to have to watch this one again and again! Thank you again for all the fantastic information! It's time to bust out those layer cakes that have been laying around and make them into beautiful quilts! Thumbs up and 5 stars!
Karen you are my favorite quilter on CZcams. I love dealing with stash but as a new quilter 2 years ago I purchased tons of precuts to get entire lines of fabric. I am 71 and had sworn to NEVER quilt. Now I am a total addict and have enough fabric to quilt the rest of my life. I should have found your video about not over purchasing earlier. Thank you!!
So useful seeing you fold material into blocks.
Said out loud whole watching: God, you're clever, Karen.
😊
My response? “We’ll I’ll be dammed!” Said as she started laying out all the sewn blocks for the first time. My brain could not see how all those colors and patterns would come together so beautifully!
I love all of these blocks. No matter how many times I lie out my blocks I get them all mixed up. I take a photo now. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
I loved this video....not because I have "layer cakes"; I don't. I'm a very visual person and even while I'm in the store buying my fabric, I am trying to fold the fabric together to see how it will look together! I loved the quilts you made and the orange one; Wow! I was surprised at how beautiful it turned out! You, my friend, are amazing! Thanks again for a great video! One I will need to watch a few times!
I love pre-cuts because of the variety of fabrics, and I love more complex-looking quilts but I always end up using a simple one-block-all-over design to ensure that I use every millimetre of expensive fabric. You've inspired me to give this a whirl and break out of my comfort zone. I'm also thinking of how to apply the same 4-quadrant principle to different blocks made from jelly rolls🤔 This video has opened up a whole new design world. Great job 👏👏👏 Thank you!👍
I can’t imagine the work you put into this video. I love your ideas and the simple way you teach. I especially loved the orange one, and I’m not a fan of orange. Lol. Fun to wake up to this video today. Can’t wait for the next. 💕💕
Wow! My head is swimming! What a great video. It's cram packed full of information. I'll be watching it numerous times to get my brain to digest all that you've shown and said. Thank you so much, Karen!
You fill in a spot in the quilting world that I need. Thank you! So glad I found you! You help me break my analysis paralysis!
Karen I love how you show how lay fabrics and blocks and then quilts. You are so smart. Thank you
Wow! This info was foreign language to me before I watched many of your videos. I can finally understand everything you are explaining! I am super excited. Thanks again Karen for being such a great teacher.
After searching the web and pintrest this is the only place I found symmetrical sampler quilts. I don't have any layer cakes, but going to give it a try with fabrics from my stash. I love this idea!
I just found you yesterday and watched your videos on the television all day ( my husband is now the most educated man in South Yorkshire in quilting). Please could you do a video on quilt as you go as I have only a domestic machine. Thankyou for all your advice - I wish I had found you years ago
I rarely buy precuts, but I would greatly enjoy making this quilt. Digging into the stash this morning.
Wonderful! Have fun
Really enjoyed this video
Wow! Have to watch this over and over. Thank you for all your research. Must have taken forever to make this video. Will take me a while to unpack it all. Again, thank you!
I have been going crazy for like a week: Time to start a NEW project and what to do (so many fabrics and what to make with which one?). Here sits these OLD LAYER CAKES! Still sitting there! Some of them I don't even LIKE any more! One of them is 2 values: light and dark(half and half). But I like it red and whites! Yea. So now what? Success! I found your video today and I can do several of the blocks that require 2 colors (genius moment!) I can also cut these in half and they become 4 blocks (WOW. I can make patterns). AND for the final genius moment: I can change the orientation! You made me go from a frozen brain that could do NOTHING but lament (whoa is me) to a genius who can start a project and in the end go to PREQUILT and design with the blocks! Well how fun is that! I watch all of your videos and somehow I think I missed this one. You talk through it so fast. I just kept stopping the video so I could write it all down. Then you have the download. HOW PERFECTLY NICE IS THAT! I did make a copy for a notebook so I will have this to reference over and over! Thank you so much! Made my day!
Because of watching you. I once again have my mojo back. I am 82 I love to quilt.thank you. Jan O
Oooo I think this might be my next one. Maybe as a quilt as I go 🤔
Here I am again mesmerized with this process when I don’t even quilt!
LOL
Thank you Karen. I just love how down to earth you are.
Fabulous video. Thanks so much
I LOVE the minimal leftover part of this video. Amazing work Karen. Thanks for all your hard work and lovely personality. I'll keep following you because you are SO common sense and make everything doable.
I created the blocks, just realized you have a graph for placement. Just want to get it done. Thank you for the inspiration and instructions!!
Your videos are the best. You get right to the meat of the subject without wasting time. Thank you for all of your time to help us save time.
Love, love, LOVE this video!
Since this is more on the "planning", rather than "cut each block THIS size", I just realized I can probably cut some of my FQ's into 9" squares, and get the same kind of results.
Keep up the great work, and thank you so very much!
Yes..:I love when viewers can see the potential
Hi Karen, impressive video! I almost always do "one block wonders", but you have given me the courage to go outside my box and try this symmetry idea! Thanks from Montana. Stay safe.
Saved! I’ll be revisiting this again and again.
Amazing to watch Karen ! Those who can, do - I look on and enjoy. Thankyou for sharing your quilts.
I had the opportunity to buy a bunch of layer cakes at an antique mall, thinking I would use them in Project Linus projects. About half were really fun to work with and get creative. Then I got to the other half and was STUMPED. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I spent just an hour taking two similar layer cakes and sorting them by VALUE. Then I went through the stacks without thinking too hard and grabbed pieces for HSTs, fence rail, and four patches. I stacked them all up. Yesterday I spent only ONE HOUR and made almost 20 blocks!!! I have absolutely no idea how the finished quilt project will look, but excited to start at the middle and work out by quadrants using the magic word, symmetry. I'll make sure and post / tag on instagram when I get this project quilt top completed. Again, thank you so much.
Excellent. This is a fun one as you never know what you are going to get
Simply. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your brain. ❤️❤️❤️
Late to the party! Just watched this video. Love love love this idea. I’m a spreadsheet, math, scrappy-but-only-with-a-plan kind of woman. This methods makes my mind so happy. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas in this and every video
I love how you phrased that. It sounds like we like to quilt the same way 🤚
Great video. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Every time I watch your videos. I learn something new way to go. Love your work thank you.
Now I know why I don't have a lot of layer cakes. I love the symmetry idea! Thank you!!!
You say (and show) so succinctly and clearly methods that I have used, but never identified. --- just played with blocks, until I liked their position. Thank you --- I look forward to your videos --- wish you did more, but I know they take a lot of time and you have/want a life! Hope all is well with you and your family! :-)
Thank you so much!!! I had recently purchased a layer cake because the fabric featured chickens, something my son's family had recently invested in. (6 kids and 4 acres made it a fun, new 2020 adventure). BUT I didn't want to cut up the 4 blocks with the chicken fabric. This provided the option that I needed. I've sorted my fabrics and want to start cutting out this week. Thanks, Karen for all your work on this!!!
I have been tempted into buying layer cakes, but every time I go to use them, I'm disappointed. This video makes me feel so much better! I couldn't put my finger on *why*, but your explanation was spot on. Thank you.
When I make a quilt for someone, choosing the fabrics is one of my favorite parts of the process.
I always thought layer cakes were awfully pricey!
That orange quilt is stunning
Wow lots of ideas. Brain in overload. Great video!
Your instructions make sense. I cannot get over subjects are exactly what I need to learn. ! I’m so glad I found your channel. I Inventoried my fabric stash recently & boy was it an eye opener. So I’ll be shopping from my stash for a while. Your color tutorial & demonstration of choosing fabric combinations has allowed me to improve in this challenging part of quilting for me.
I had a light bulb moment beyond the intent of the video. When I saw you sewing at the end of your industrial machine table I backtracked to watch it again. I just revised my "where to put the serger" thoughts. The next time I need to use my serger, I will place it just as you placed your sewing machine at the end of my industrial sewing machine table. Industrial machine tables are a great height, there is enough space to work at the end, and the serger does not need a permanent home taking up floor space. Yippee! The serger can live in the closet and have a temporary convenient work space when needed. Your videos are a breath of fresh air packed with ideas. Thank you for your efforts!
What a great video☺️ Thanks so much 🇦🇺
You are so welcome!
Karen...just love your videos! You get to the point. So appreciate your quick tips and instructions. Praying for you and your son.
You are an amazing teacher Karen, your videos are such a joy to watch. Thank you.
Thank-you for this wonderful video! I usually get Layer cakes when they are on sale at half price. And...... have 6 that I have had for at least 2 years that I couldn't decide how to use. I never thought of symmetry. Now I can use them for lap quilts and throws for special family members. No waste!! Your handout is so much appreciated!!
This is genius! I actually don't buy layer cakes because of all the disadvantages which you mention. But I do have a lot of fabric that has been donated to me for charity quilts. I think I will be able to use your technique to help me use it up.
I will never buy another buy I too intend to make my own and use this method
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts layer cake block layout
I have tremendous difficulties with values, and your tip on taking a black-and-white picture is awesome. I think it will be a big help for me. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Everytime I get stuck with a fabric pull, it's almost always comes back to value
I LOVE LOVE the orange one. Definitely my favorite!! Great job!
Just bought special fabric for my niece, no plan for what to do, now I’m off and running, as soon as I set my timer for cleaning the kitchen. Thanks Karen
Thanks for sharing. I’m teaching myself how to quilt and watching you makes it easy. Again thanks
Karen thank you for all your hard work just to make it easier for us.
Oh wow!!! You are right: symmetry can do all the heavy lifting in quilt design. I can’t wait to try this.
Great Karen - this was sooo helpful! Thanks MG
Very interesting. The orange layout is gorgeous! So is the other quilt, but the orange pipped it to the post for me! LOL! Thank you Karen. :D
I had just cut a 10" layer cake into squares when I watched your video. The fabric came out of the box and I reorganized it into different squares. Thanks for the hints. I was two colours short but my stash had some fabric that will work well.
For some reason I have you on my husbands facebook - must get that switched over. Quite funny.
AWESOME!! THANKS FOR ALL THE MATH !!!🎉
Ready,set, SEW!❤
It’s 2am in Oakland, CA and I am thrilled that you have uploaded! Unrelated: can anyone recommend a good chair for sewing? I have a bad back and am looking for recommendations from the quilting community. Love you all happy sewing!
it's 5:30am and I haven't been to bed yet. Editing takes so much time....😁
I’m in Lincoln California and still awake watching her video.
I second the chair question!
I was looking for a chair for my mom for Mother's Day. I would highly recommend a Koala sewing chair
I love my Bungee chair from the Container Store. I have two!
Wow, did you figure out a LOT!! Great job, Karen. You always make it easier to learn and you save me much head-scratching!
Thanks for providing the awesome handouts...takes some of the guesswork out of what to do the layer cakes! Another great and useful video. Karen, you're one of the best!
Oooo the orange one looks particularly striking! Thanks for another great video
You, and your videos are absolutely wonderful. So many ideas, tips, and examples. Don’t know how we can ever thank you for all you do to create these amazing and useful tutorials, video after video!
That was a beautiful line the Old fashioned Christmas
This video was full of so many helpful tips & tricks. I don't have many Layer Cakes, and now I can sew them up. Thanks so much.
This is exactly what I needed to learn about using Layer Cakes. Thank you! I didn’t realize how easy you made them look to use.
Quilting is my passion! I have enjoyed watching you and have learned so much. You are my number one CZcams watch!
You have such beautiful bright colourful fabric in Toronto I need to come for a holiday with an empty suitcase I think 🥰
Great video. So much helpful information. Definitely will try your method 😊❤️
Thank you for the best explanation on how to do a scrappy/not really scrappy quilt! I have 2 winter layer cakes by the same company, so they do go together plus 3 yds of sparkly gray, 3 yds of blue and 2 yds sparkly white (one layer cake & the gray I bought previously) and I have been wracking my brain on what kind of pattern to make - I need it to be king size. Doing just 4 repeats will keep me from going completely around the bend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for another useful and enjoyable video, Karen! Always cheering to see and hear from you! X
Wow! Karen thank you for putting in so much work. They all look incredible. Prequilt is fabulous!!
Hi Karen, Yay, cannot wait to give this a whirl. Thank you so much. 💜💖🥰 Chris-Raleigh NC
I learn so much from you! Thank you for all the work you do to make quilting easier and more fun! Patti
Wow. OMG. What a great tutorial. All kinds of lights went on with this one. It answered so many questions that I have that I didn’t even begin to know how to ask. Thank you thank you thank you. Can’t wait to get into pre-quilt. I have all this fabric and I have no idea what to do with it. I never thought of the sorting and putting it together before cutting. Fantastic. You are the best.
Thanks for the great video. I had an exhausting afternoon and kept finding myself drifting off (and not because you were boring) so I grabbed some M&Ms and watched it all over again. I love scrap quilts, I love making my own precuts. I think I had better start making some layer cakes! In general I do not like orange (although since I was born on Halloween, you would think I would love it!) but I really like the orange quilt. The design was great and didn't shout to a viewer, "Hey I am a Halloween pumpkin!" What I really liked was the multi flowered layer from the farm fabric. I would like about a yard of that as it would go so well with a lot of fabrics currently in my stash. But I have plenty of fabric and know I will survive without it. Thank you for making this video. I appreciate it since I can no longer go to quilt guilds, etc.
I’m a Halloween baby too but it’s black I don’t like
Wowzers! You really did work it our first us. I’m excited to get started on making a quilt using Pre Quilt tomorrow.
I find I like to just play with the program. It really can get some creative juices flowing
Just a genius piece of geometry and fabric. So clever -thank you so much.
Great tutorial! I cut my own layer cakes from old clothes and leftover scraps and organize them by colour. I will definitely try that. The orange quilt is the best🍊 Californian summer harvest quilt.
This was great! You are a wonderful teacher, Karen. As a new sewer I hope to get to this point of sewing and having a stash. I agree with the comment about the folding of the fabrics that will give you an idea of what your quilt will look like. I most assuredly need assistance with learning to cut properly. I soothe myself by telling myself that I have difficulty cutting properly because I am left-handed. LOL. Can't wait for your next video.
I have a plastic tote filled with precuts that I need to dig thru to use these methods!! Great ideas that will help!!!
Cool... first comment!
Another great idea churning video. That orange quilt was especially surprising. Wonderful ideas, as always.
Hope life is settling down a bit for you,, all best wishes to your son💜
👍
You are brilliant. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for all your hard work to do this. I hope you and the family are doing well.
