Slicing Up a Layer Cake

  I'm betting a lot of you thought I was taking about a cake 

I just baked.  If you did you probably [by now] figured out

 you are wrong.

 For non-quilters - a layer cake is the term for 10" squares of fabric.  

 The pattern is pretty darn simple.   First you cut a

 3-1/2" strip from each 10" block.  Once all the squares are cut

 you mix up the prints and re-sew the two different size pieces
back together.  The picture above is that step completed.

 After you finish the step [above] you slice that block in half.

In this photo you see two halves from two different blocks. 

The final step in this block is to sew the pieces together.

After all the slicing, dicing, sewing and pressing it's

time to lay the blocks out in a way you like.  Work was

once again interrupted by sleeping Julep.
