But I'm pleased with my progress so far. I need it to be queen sized for our bed as I'm making this one for us.

I am in the middle of making an Eleanor Burns pattern, "Piece of Cake," using layer cakes and it's looking very cool. It's looks like a disappearing 9 patch. I still have to sew the blocks together. It's using "Nature's Christmas" fabric by Moda.

I am making a king size quilt for our bed.

WOW - gorgeous - I can see why you didn't want to cut the layer cakes into smaller pieces.

Hi, Sandy... and welcome from Texas.

There's a huge library of quilt patterns of all sizes on Quilters' Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/, or Janet Wickell has quite a few on about.com http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...uilt-Patterns/. Good luck! This should keep you busy for longer than you ever anticipated. <G>

Another welcome from Alaska!!! I love the Missouri Star Quilt Co for the tutorials using layer cakes and the fabrics.

Many of the fabric manufacturers ( Like Moda, Hoffman as examples) - on their website, post patterns for the pre-cuts they sell ( like layer cakes )......just one more source for you to check out.....
