What is a Layer Cake?
Layer cakes are 10″ precut squares of fabric that typically come in packs of 42. The fabrics coordinate because they come from the same fabric line, so I love that it takes the guesswork out of choosing fabric!Layer cakes are a great way to get a sampling of an entire fabric line and get enough fabric to work in a variety of quilt patterns!Looking to purchase a layer cake?
