Thank you Rob for your comment. I was drawn to that particular layer cake several years ago but never knew what to do with it until I saw a quilt made with them last year in a show.

I really like the creme brûlée quilt the best. I too have a very hard time with scrappy it just doesn’t compute for my brain. Don’t get me wrong I think they’re beautiful once I see what someone else has put together I just can’t seem to do it properly. That’s probably why my scraps have just exploded! Maybe one day soon I’ll challenge myself to do a small one to start.
