Layer Cake patterns

I have 3 layer cakes screaming to be made into beautiful quilts. I have already made a Double Slice and was going to do that again but then I started thinking that maybe something different would be good to try.

Any suggestions? I ordered a book of Jelly Roll, Charm Packs and Layer Cake patterns from the library but there was nothing in there that I really liked or am good enough to do just yet.

I know you ladies and gents are a wealth of information so I thought I'd ask. I tried searching the internet but I'm not coming up with much.

Thank you!!!

I'm having the same trouble with that one too. I have one layer cake where the images need to be left big. It was a dd transportation pack for my grandson.

If you Goggle images, so much comes up and there is usually a tut behind it. I'll be watching this thread :)

The Star & Chevron are both made from Layer Cakes. Look in tutorials.

Thinking you could do a D4P, but just on a larger scale.

I was thinking that too! Thanks for the reminder!

Here is what looks like a simple one. Even though it isn't anything "fancy" , I really like it for some reason. I haven't tried it yet but I am hoping to make one with a layer cake that I have. I think it would be a good pattern for those particular times when you have a fabric that you want to stand out more than the quilt pattern.

Oh that one IS pretty! Must print that off :)

GrammaBabs, that one is very neat however I'm really afraid to do triangles! LOL I know, I know, I should challenge myself but I'm just not ready yet.

i hear ya... i like simple and easy and FUN to do!!!

This is close to BDK's and it looks like it was made from charms but it's a D9P. I'm thinking of this for my boy's layer cake too.

Here are a few that I have found that I would like to try. Hope you find one you really like.

I like both of these patterns, one's piecing looks pretty simple, the other is more work but I think they are both pretty cute.

They aren't triangles, they're wedges, and if you can use a ruler, you can cut them....

Thank you ladies! I've got some great ideas here.
