I had a Moda LaYeR CaKe (gifted from someone) called Cape Ann sitting on my shelf for ages... soooo ...
I decided to cut some of the layers into 4 pieces.
I arranged the fabric... then stitched it together...
Next I cut it apart...👀
Shuffled it around, then stitched it back together again...
Us quilters are a cRaZy bunch... aren't we ...
I used the basic disappearing 9 patch method... but used a slight placement variation.
I made a bunch more... 12 in total... sewed the rows together... AND ... voila...!!!
I think it turned out quite gOOd really... AND... I have lots of layers left over... so another MiNi quilt is on the planning table. This time ... just for FuN... I'll use another disappearing block.
The play quilt above measures 36 inch x 48 inch & now needs to be backed, quilted & the binding added.

Fantastic play mat...
Looking good! You did well to still have all the little dresses up the same way. I’m sure it will be well loved and used. Enjoy playing with the rest of the fabric.

Hi Betsy.. I emailed you but it was returned...
But I used several 10inch layers from a layer cake cut into 4...so each starting block measured 5 inch. Hope this helps...xox
That looks so good Cheryl, I love the colours. Think I have made a quilt quite some time ago using that principle of cutting and joining.
Great result. I do like the way you have lined up the fabrics. It looks so effective with the blue and white spot all heading the same way.
Excellent use of the layer cake! I tend to favour this version of a disappearing nine patch as well; I like the random nature of it x
