I love using layer cakes! So much fun!

Here is a pattern using one layer cake for two projects.

Someone recently (earlier this year) did a QAL with a layer cake for pinwheels

I have a Breakfast at Tiffany's layer cake and will make a rail fence after watching the MSQC video.

I just posted a picture today of one I just pieced (Hexagon Hip Hop) - you beat me to it with the link Omak!
It's an excellent pattern - the offcuts from the half hexagons are used up in the border strips, so there was no waste. There are several other good ones in the book too.

you know, i happened to see that right after i posted my quest!
i like that first top, although it looks like you slice/dice quite a bit! the hex top just isn't my "speed", although i do like your color combinations!
