Default Layer cake patterns?

I have 1 Lovely layer cake and 2 yards of dark floral for border. Trying to use what I have. Do you have a "go to" pattern (free) for layer cakes? Would a d4p be appropriate? Log cabin? I have surfed online and nothing is jumping out at me. Suggestions sure would be appreciated!

I like the Double Slice Layer Cake quilt. Here is one with sashing, but you can also make the blocks with no sashing. http://www.nancysfabrics.info/2012/1...-tutorial.html

I like the Double Slice Layer Cake pattern from Missouri Star. I have a picture of one too, which I will try to find. This goes together quickly and sort of ends up looking like Yellow Brick Road or Take Five.

Just in case it might work for you...

I too have made the double slice quilt from the MSQC. If fact, I have made several of them. I love the pattern.

Sorry about the long link! I worked on it for 15 mins! How about a Disappearing pinwheel from MSQC? Here is a picture of the ones I did for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. There is also another way to set these from the same pinwheel. It looks more like a Churn Dash with a pinwheel center.

I made this one. She gives you two sizes. If you click on the small pictures you can see various color ways.

I just finished one that is soft pastels and all I did was sew the squares together, 6 across and 7 down, sew a thin border and then a wide one. It turned out very nice and was easy to do. It took longer to place all the squares where I wanted them then to sew them together.

Love the double slice pattern. I have several layer cakes I've won at guild so this would be a great pattern.
