This was tonight’s finish…Double Slice Layer Cake.  At present, this is a flimsy measuring 52″ x 60″.  This is a pattern / video / tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company.

This is the perfect quilt pattern for someone who is new to quilting as there are no seams to match up until you are sewing your blocks together into rows.  Even if your seam allowance is not a precise 1/4″, you have the opportunity to square your blocks to all the same size after piecing and before sewing your blocks together into rows.

This was the same pattern that my DIL used to make her first quilt.
