15 Free Quilt Patterns for Pre-Cut Layer Cake Bundles: 10” Squares!
A layer cake quilt pattern is your new best friend for a quick, zero-fuss project or gift idea. Each free pattern gives you totally achievable results – no matter your experience level. Be sure to resist the urge to prewash them; that’s a mess you do NOT want to have on your hands! Use them right out of the package and get right to the fun part without any stress at all.
Precut fabric bundles are especially irresistible at this time of year. Did you grab some yummy fabric during the sales? These patterns are seriously perfect for all that new fabric, ranging across every experience level, style, and size. Use your Layer Cakes straight out of the package, swap them for fat quarters, or use your large scraps for any free quilt pattern in this collection. Now turn on your favorite holiday movie and let’s go gobble up some sewing time this season

Star Cakes Quilt
The Star Cake block is so pretty – both classic and modern at the same time! For this quilt you will use 1 print layer cake (I used Paradiso by Kate Spain for Moda), 1 solid layer cake, and 2 more yards of solid fabric for the sashing and borders. It’s a big quilt top too – a generous twin at 72” x 90”. Check out the free layer cake quilt pattern.
