Christmas
I've purchased the Tole Christmas layer cake by Moda. I'm looking for suggestions for a traditional Christmas quilt to make with it. It's for my DDIL so it needs to be really nice! Just like her! I'd like a pattern that shows off the variety of materials without cutting them into tiny pieces.

How about the Disappearing Hourglass from Missouri Star Quilt Co. I was looking at it myself and I may try it with a layer cake I have. Just a word of warning, if you use all of the 42 squares, you will have a HUGH quilt. I just made the disappearing pinwheel 5 quilt and ended up using only 30 of the squares and it still came out (with a 2" and a 4" border) to 88 x 69. But I think it would showcase the fabric.

I found an adorable -- and easy -- quilt pattern online yesterday. I've never purchased a layer cake but I plan to do so for this one. It's called the 1=2+Easy Quilt Pattern (tutorial) ! It's on a blog called Samelia's mum. This is the link:

Am I correct in assuming that in a layer cake there are duplicates of each print? If so, I plan on using one of each of the prints I want as the center blocks. And then the rest of them can be used as they are. Only one fabric of yardagge to purchase (or take from stash).
Note: I tried using the link and it didn't work, so I'll try to just google the quilt name. Sorry about this.
YES! AS soon as I typed Samelias mum in Google, it came right up

How about the Variable Star, also called the Sawtooth star. You can do it with the center and the points matching or with them contrasting.

Watch the tutorial and write down instructions as you watch. Then reread and watch again. I prefer written instructions and do this many times with utubes etc.

MSQC has a great tutorial using a layer cake. I made a quilt using these instructions and love it. It is called "Double Slice Layer Cake".
