Have you ever used one of these? You all know my love of layer cakes so when this came up as a Daily Deal at Missouri Star, I had to bite. This seemed like a perfect project for taking to a sewing day for the Stitching Sisters QOV Group. I needed something easy to work on because I tend to get distracted talking and make mistakes.
This is what each page looks like.
I had two layer cakes of this
Here is how it works. You layer two pieces right sides together.
Place one sheet from the pad on top and secure with a couple pins.
Start at the star and sew on all dotted lines.
This is what the back looked like when I was done.
Next you cut on all the solid lines.
This is all the waste, not much!
Here’s a tip. If you tend to be an aggressive presser, leave the paper on the back until after pressing; it will stabilize your seams.
Here are a few possible layouts.
This is what I decided to go with. It’s a big 16 inch block.
Have a great day!

I tend to like anything “Miss Rosie” does, and this looks like it would be great for a new quilter. I will remember this when I am working with a new quilter. So many choices – all pretty. Thanks for linking up with Design Wall Mondays at SmallQuiltsandDollQuilts.blogspot.
Very nifty! I’ll be on the lookout for the daily deals!
Cool -just what I like to do. Off to learn more about them.
Oh that’s how those work! Thanks for demonstrating.
I love Cake Mix. Working on one now!
Hi Katy,
Well they certainly made these easy to use! I have that same precut, and this is a fun use for it. I wonder which layout you will end up using? Thanks for sharing the tutorial with us. ~smile~ Roseanne
I love this, thank you for the demo! I’ve seen the cake mixes online but didn’t really know how it worked. Hugs,
Awesome! Thank you for the tutorial. That worked out well and it will make a lovely quilt!
I was wondering how those worked. Thanks for showing this. Now, I’m interested in trying them out.
I got a set of those papers as a freebie in my last order (yes, it was a big order), so now I have to give them a try. Thanks for sharing this!
Never heard of those..looks like a great, relatively easy project. May have to look into them
This is so neat! I might have to get a set of Cake Mixes to try.
I’ve also wondered how these work, so thanks for taking the mystery out of them. Sorry I didn’t get the chance to wander over and see what you were up to. It was great to see you!
I’ve considered buying a pad of those papers but wasn’t sure about them. Thanks for sharing this – now I know how they work!
Yes, I love those Cake Mix papers! Perfect HSTs and no extra trimming required, so fast!!
Neat way to do make these blocks. One could make their own papers in what ever block size they wanted. Might have to give it a go.😀
Love it! I might just have to buy that pattern and give it a try. As you witness I do not get much done on sew day, lol
