Always more than one UFO
 

Most quilters probably have a "coveted item" here and there that has not been used. I have four Moda Layer Cake packets in the citrus "flavor." That is 160 10" blocks (40 times 4).

Would cutting them into 5" blocks and making a D9P be the answer? I need something quick and encouraging.

Any other suggestions or picture samples would be appreciated.

This looks cute http://www.modabakeshop.com/2013/03/...ake-quilt.html

The pattern and the quilt in the link you sent are cute! However, the layer cake in this pattern has printed fabric. Mine is strictly Moda Marbles in Citrus colors. I wondered whether I should consider putting prints with this series or maybe make it all plain to focus on the bright color changes. I have wondered about "Trip Around the World," but I may not be qualified to do that yet.

My go-to pattern for layer cakes is Double Slice Layer Cake by MSQC.

I would think this would look fine in solid colors.

I think Around the World is super quick and easy! It can be strip pieced/tube pieced and then recut and assembled.
Can use the same method for quite a few variations as well.
Have fun!!!

OK, I am beginning to see how this might be in all solids.

I found another link here that might look good too. What do you think?

Do you have a tutorial for this? I need something quick and simple.

I found this on YouTube..

Good luck!

Am I crazy to reply to my own post or what? After I wrote this, I did a search for tube piecing Around the Word and came up with this:

Now I just have to copy what she wrote and see if I can do it! I am still open for suggestions, so keep them coming.

If I had your fabric, I'd probably cut two 5" charms from each layer cake and then cut two strips from each, and then make a French Braid. Those colors would be gorgeous in a FB, and they really aren't too hard to make. Plus you'd still have some charms for four-patches or what have you.
