Desert Blooms Double Slice Layer Cake Quilt Top

Desert Blooms Quilt Top

It's the same pattern as the Double Slice Layer Cake Quilt I did out of Christmas fabrics a few weeks ago.  It comes together fast. 

I was in the mood for another double slice layer cake quilt, I bought a 2nd layer cake called Sunset Blooms:

Plenty of contrast, colors, and varying prints with this set.  I hope it comes together well.

1 Layer Cake with 40 10-inch squares should be enough to make a twin-size quilt.  2 layer cakes would be enough for a queen-size quilt.  I don't need to go that big.

 


For reference, here is the Jenny Doan video tutorial explaining how to make this quick quilt.



Here it is on the design wall.  Some of the blocks changed places since this photo was taken.  I can see how that the upper left corner block is turned the wrong way.  

With it on the design wall, my heart sank.  Not my color pallet.  Too much yellow.  In the color mixing, it looks way too brown for my eyes.   I think I'm going to have to put this one away for a while.  Perhaps it will look better to me sometime in the future.   Then again,  this color combination will make someone's heart sing ...

Someday in future it will get borders and the finishing treatment.
