Layer Cake Pillow – Free Pattern

Today, I found a fabulous FREE pattern for a Layer Cake Pillow that I want to share with you.

Have you heard of Layer Cakes? Some manufacturers call them 10″ Stacks, Ten Packs, Mini-Crystals…. but basically they are 10″ squares of quilting cotton packed together to make a gorgeous collection of matching fabrics.

You can use these Layer Cakes to make a variety of things! But today, let’s check out these pillows.

Created by Elizabeth Hartman, this pillows were designed to be made with her fabric “Pond” . As with all great fabric, “Pond” was available for a limited time and not all of the collection is still available. But what does live on is this fabulous pattern!

The free pattern can be used to make a throw pillow measuring 24 X 24. The color combinations are limited only by your imagination. If you need help, I have many different combinations on my Pinterest board “Quilt Colors”

To make one pillow you will need 12 – 10 inch squares. As most layer cakes come in packs of 24 to 42 squares, I am sure you want to make more that one. In addition to the squares you will need the following supplies:

• 3/4 yd of fabric for backing
• 1/2 yd of fabric for binding
• 1 3/4 yd of Muslin
• One 27″ x 27″ AND one 27″ X 35″ piece of lightweight batting
• 24″ x 24″ pillow form

I found a couple other collections that would look just as great as “Pond” to make your Layer Cake pillow. What do you think of these? (UPDATED: April, 2020)
