I bet MSQ would exchange or refund money if the layer cakes are not to your liking for a quilt. Also, if you don't find one of Jenny's patterns for the layer cake (or the charm squares) their customer service is great. Call them and have them suggest patterns for the items you have bought. I used one of their layer cakes for a tote bag and there was almost no waste from the angles I had to cut. I am also doing a stained glass one of theirs and it also has very little waste. They are very customer oriented.
