    Default Jellystone Park quilt

    Roxanne mentioned this quilt pattern so I looked it up and I quite like it.

    My question is, could you use a layer cake to make it? Cut the 10" square into 4 strips of 2.5" and then sew 4 different ones together and cut it diagonally? Is it that simple?

    I have a layer cake that I just love. I've already made 2 Double Slice quilt tops so would like to try something else. I thought this might be a good one and would face my fear of triangles too.

    The one's I've seen were made with a Jelly Roll, but I guess you could cut up a layer cake and make it. Which one are you using? I love the layer cakes best. LOL.

    It's called Sakura Park. It is just beautiful. Pink is my favorite color.

    I also just saw a quilt of just charm squares. I could cut up the cake into 4 charm squares and that might be pretty too.

    No, it won't work with a layer cake. The diagonal triangle won't be the same as the ones you get from cutting up a strip set.

    That should work as long as you end up with 8 1/2 inch squares once your strips are sewn together. You need 40 blocks and you should be able to get a block from each square in the layer cake. Give it a try. I think it would work.

    She would be cutting strips from the layer cake. They just wouldn't be as long. Maybe I'm not thinking straight but I think it would work.

    I think Karen is right...it won't work...unless I trim the square down once all the strips are sewn together as one side would still measure 10", the other would be 9"... Did I do that right? I am not good at the math part.

    You would cut your layer cake into 2 1/2 inch strips. You should get 4 of them. You would sew the 4 strips together (just like you would do if it was a full length jelly roll strip). Your block would end up being 8 1/2 x 10. Then you would trim each set of 4 strips down to an 8 1/2 inch square (just like you do with the jelly roll). I guess I'm confused but I don't see the difference.

    Okay, I was thinking the strips were cut like the above. They aren't. I do think you can use the layer cake as long as one side is trimmed down. I had to go and look up the pattern to make sure.

    I think it would work and the Jellystone would look beautiful in that fabric. I am not a huge pink fan but the way they put that collection together is wonderful.
