Grunge layer cake
 

I just bought and received the Grunge Hits the Spot basicgrey layer cake from MSQC and it is so pretty, but I don't know what pattern to use. I don't want to loose any of it when cutting. I did go to Jordan's tutorial and she did a (I think it's called that) Three Layer Cake pattern. It really is pretty. Have any of you bought this layer cake and if so what pattern are you using? I just have the one package so would have to buy extra yardage which is fine. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome and picture of quilt if you have made one from this collection. Never have bought grunge fabric, but this is really pretty and such beautiful colors.

OMG; 70 views and not one reply. Kind of discouraging.

I'll reply. I've used alot of layer cakes. Recently I have really liked the Cake Mix recipes, it's very accurate and several use almost the entire 10" square. If it's beautiful colors, you can add a neutral and have a beautiful effect.

I recently did a quilt with a layer cake that I loved, Moda Modern Background Ink. I used this pattern:

I am very happy with it.

Just looked up the Grunge fabric line & it is really pretty. I have no idea for a pattern for you but whatever you decide on will be pretty. I don't think you can go wrong with "dots" in a quilt.
Here's a couple of ideas for you:

I think the double slice from Missouri* would look pretty, I love the Grunge lines and I use it almost exclusively in most of my quilts that need a solid. Don’t be discouraged by lack of responses, it’s just the nature of forums.

I really like grunge line, especially the polka dots. Have fun!

I've used the Grunge line quite a bit--love the colors and they read solid. But can you believe I've been quilting for a handful of years but have never purchased a layer cake.

Thank you, thank you.

The Illusion Quilt tutorial from MSQC would really show off that fabric!

I really love the grunge fabrics. They have such texture when paired up with anything! My LQS just got in the grunge stars -- it's also very nice! Just have fun with it!

I can't help you with ideas of patterns. Maybe if you google "patterns made with grunge fabrics" some great ideas will inspire you. I just bought some grunge fabric recently to make something for my grandson. It is such a pretty fabric and goes beyond just using solids. Good luck on your search.

I don't often buy pre-cuts, but I really like this version that osewme posted. Thanks!

Thank you again. Gotta finish some other projects, then maybe I can get started. I just love my fabrics.

Here is a grunge pattern https://static.fatquartershop.com/me...pdf/Grunge.pdf

I made a quilt from a layer cake that was very cool. One block was a color surrounded by another, the alternate block was reversed. The blocks were rectangles and arranged staggered like bricks. I made two and have no picture and don't remember the measurements.

Love the grunge fabrics but have only purchased yardage not precuts. Good luck.

Have not see this particular layer cake but have seen some grunge fabrics. MSQC double slice is a great pattern! I used it with my Bahama Breeze. It’s just cutting and Re sewing. No waste of fabric and you can really show them off...

I've used the Double Slice Layer Cake pattern several times and love it. It would be great done in the grunge dots.

thank you. I also love the double slice. getting lots of ideas. thanks again. do you think this layer cake I have would look okay using the double slice pattern since it's all dots, just different colors?

I hve no suggestion have never used a layer cake, but always interested in everyone's suggestions. Good luck, anxious to see what you decide to do!!!

I like the Moda pattern that IrishRose posted. Don't buy precuts but that pattern looks like it would work.

Summer Plans quilt is beautiful. This would look great with the grunge fabric.
