Layer Cake fabrics
#13
I bought a layer cake that had only 10 different fabrics out of 40. Should have read the label. Also some layer cakes are not 10" square. Each layer cake has only the fabrics that they design in that line, some of them have only 10 or 15 fabrics and some have 40 different fabrics. Each are different.

I've purchased only one layer cake, which had some great fabrics for a wall hanging I'm making. There were some pieces I didn't want, but may use someday. The one thing I really, really disliked was that they were pinked and I felt like I had to cut off the edges all around to get the nice straight edge I wanted. I guess if I found one with just the right fabrics I'd buy another, but still don't like pinked edges.

You can always just cut your own 10x10 squares from yardage. Saves a lot of money, particularly if you're making a large quilt. Plus you have absolute control of what fabrics you get; sometimes there's an "ugly" or two in the collection and that's just a waste of your money.
