Um, yes, this is yet another quilt in preparation. This one is going to be a Moda Love Layer Cake Quilt, though I'm making it from 7.5" squares and HSTs rather than 9.5" squares as the pattern and Layer Cakes lend themselves. With a little border to prevent loss of the star points in my binding I should end up with a quilt measuring 60" square.
In defence of this new start and the Giant Star I showed you being prepped last week, I have a retreat weekend coming up and I really want to make these two quilts to donate to CT's pre-school/support groups so they can raise some money from them. So, yet again I'm allowing common sense to be overruled and will hopefully come home from retreat with two quilt tops ready for basting.
This layout has been shuffled so many times I think my eyes may have lasting damage! It has been tricky to get a balance but I think there's always going to be a glut of reds especially since the Little Ruby Layer Cake was a little shorter on green and pinks. I'm now at the point where every move I try affects something else, so this is the layout for better or worse.
This will be my second reduced size Moda Love Layer Cake (first one here) - one day I will make a full sized version because it is such a fab pattern!
