Thanks for mentioning using cake layers as backing fabric. I have some and intended to cut them to make 4, 5"squares to make HST's but they shrunk...so not sure what to do with them, but your suggestion to use as back fabric... I am working on making the back nice as the front and have seen many with a nice row or two of color on the back.. I could use these cake layers for that!
