Just One Layer Cake
Are you ready for two projects in one? Not only am I going to show you have to make a quilt using just one layer cake, but I am also going to show you how to expand a layer cake by using your scraps. A little history first: I have a video where I showed how to curate scrap from our own stash to extend a layer cake. You can read that blog HERE and watch the video HERE. If you saw those, this is the moment you have been waiting for! I bring them together!
Expanding Your Precuts
Ever buy a layer cake or any precut but aren’t sure what to make? And if you can’t figure out what to make, you don’t have enough fabric to make the project and aren’t sure what to do? Then the layer cake, stacker, jelly roll, or whatever pre-cut you have just sits on a shelf or in a bin waiting for the right project. I think this has happened to all of us. I am here to help you expand on your pre-cuts.

Layer Cake Quilt: Camping Style!
There's something magical about camping—the fresh air, the crackling campfire, and the starry nights. I wanted to capture that magic in a cozy and creative way, so I decided to make a camping-themed quilt. Using a fabric layer cake, which is a bundle of pre-cut 10-inch squares, I found the perfect palette of colors and patterns to bring my vision to life. In this blog post, I'll take you through each step of the process, from selecting the right fabrics to stitching it all together. Whether you're an experienced quilter or a beginner looking for a fun project, this camping-themed quilt is a wonderful way to combine your love for the outdoors with your passion for crafting. Let's get started!
Just One Charm Pack Table Runner
In the world of quilting, charm packs are like little bundles of creativity waiting to be unleashed. Each pack contains a curated selection of coordinated fabric squares, usually measuring 5 inches by 5 inches. And let me tell you, they're like a treasure trove for quilters, offering endless possibilities for crafting magic.
Just One Layer Cake Crazy Quilt
Let’s make a bright and fun crazy quilt in this Just One Layer Cake tutorial!
Just One Layer Cake Hourglass Quilt
Like in my last Just One Layer Cake video, this quilt all started with me playing with a layer cake. Mind you, my first attempt isn’t always the one I go with. In fact, this quilt took a few attempts to find something that I liked. It is also important to note that I don’t always love the layer cake I am using after I open it up. Both of these came into play with this one. I carried on, however, bound and determined to make a One Layer Cake quilt! I can do it!
Easy Four-Patch Quilt
This quilt is super easy and super fun to make. All you need is one layer cake to make this quilt top. I used flannel, but this would work with any fabrics, including scraps.
What Can We Make With One Charm Pack?
What can you make with just one charm pack? This is the question I had when started playing with a charm pack one Sunday afternoon. I loved how the fall quilt came out from my video tutorial One Layer Cake Quilt, and I wanted to make something just as fun to put together. After a few hours of slicing, dicing, and sewing, this pattern was born.
Just One Layer Cake Quilt
One day when I just wanted to sew, I went on a search for a layer cake pattern and stumbled across Jenny Doan’s Double Slice tutorial. Click here for the link. While I was making it, I went a little rogue and came up with this pattern. Although I haven’t gone back and made the Double Slice quilt (I plan to someday), I am loving this variation! It is so much fun to make!

In this fun and informative tutorial, I'll show you step-by-step how to transform your fabric scraps into a colorful and unique layer cake.
