    Hi Megan, not sure what pattern to suggest but it would be pretty with a pale green solid added in somewhere..........I know I'm a big help!

    Lovely fabric!

    I'll be following this thread because I have a Vin du Jour Layer Cake sitting here and I have no idea what to do with it.

    I want a more traditional look, and most of the layer cake patterns I've found are not cutting it for me.

    Sampler blocks? Use same background fabrics for cohesiveness.

    I've looked at this layer cake several times. I think it's pretty but I can't figure out a good pattern for it either so I never ordered it.

    I think part of the problem in trying to decide on a pattern is the layer cake has some directional prints. If you can live with words being upside down or sideways, I would suggest double slice layer cake.

    Which color do you like the best? Pink, purple or green? Get a solid in that color and then decide!!!

    Very good points to consider! I know from experience in cutting bazillions 2.5" tumblers making sure the bugs were upright and not upside down or sideways.
    Finished is way better than perfect!

    You can make a Twister quilt if you have that ruler. You can make a large Apple Core, if you have that ruler. You can make a Double Slice, which doesn't require a special ruler. It is an easy and quick quilt, and turns out beautiful. Here is a link to a video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=jxC-0T5lXw4
