All you need is one layer cake to bake up this fun quilt top. An easy stack and slice method makes this a quilt you really can make in a day! For the throw sized quilt (55 in. x 64 in.) you need one layer cake (42- 10" squares), and for the twin sized (64 x 84 in.) you need 1 + 1/2 layer cake (63 - 10" squares).This pattern is ideal for a beginner!
