Hi Z. The double slice layer cake is a great quilt for beginners like me. It is made with a layer cake except that since I wash all my fabrics, I used a FQ and cut my own ten inch squares. This is a link to the video I followed. The hardest part is laying out the blocks in a pleasing way and making sure they are turned correctly.
