Jellystone Park quilt

you should try it out with some scraps before using your good fabric on it. I think whether or not it works depends on how you are cutting it.

I have 2 quilts made with strip sets and cut into triangles like you diagrammed. After piecing the strips, cutting into triangles and sewing the blocks together, I cut them down to 8-1/2" square. The diagonal edge of the widest triangle cut from the strip set is just a tad over 11" finished, so it would have had to been 11-1/2" unfinished to get my 8" finished square. If you want to use your layer cake, you should probably plan on your finished blocks being a bit smaller, maybe 6" or 7" finished or so.
