Layer Cake Battenberg Block

You might have already seen us make this block using a Jelly Roll - but today Katrina shows us how to make it using a Layer Cake. Using only 36 out of the 42 squares, you can choose exactly which ones you like most! Only measurement you need to remember is 2.5"!

You'll also need:
1 metre approx fabric for the border and 0.5 metre approx fabric for the fillet.

I am so happy I found your site. For a beginner just starting out, you all explain so wonderfully and do not hurry with the process. Also like that you showed the back, in addition, the quilt is one of my favorite colors. Thank you.😀

I do like that your quilting choice does not battle with the fabrics. Thank you for another friendly, weekend block

My quilting heart had an attack when you “pulled” the yellow out! Wow!

My great granny had a guilt that looked a lot like this. I’d forgotten about it. I’ve still got a few of my Dad’s plaid shirts I haven’t been able to decide how to turn into a quilt. You just gave me the pattern. Thank you so much.❤

I love the look of simpler block quilts over the traditionally pieced angles etc. This is classic, clean and traditional all wrapped together!

I truly enjoy your channel. Your tutorials are easy to follow and you explain the steps very well. PS: I love your accent. Keep creating and sharing😋

Layer cake or jellyroll, they make a nice quilt. Colors will rule!! It's good to see you.... I was concerned where you were hiding 😂. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

I'm so glad you haven't "over quilted" it - I like the way this allows the fabric to be the star of the show.
What a lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Really like. What a great way to use up some 10 inch packs.

Found this on my feed today. Already have 3 blocks made! Love it. I had a layer cake that has been in my stash for a couple of years waiting to become something and it is perfect. Thank you for the inspiration!

I really like the block and the quilt. Thanks

[leslieschmidt]

Great block. I love to see someone set their seams. Thanks.

[cheryltopley]

I love this quilt and particularly in that range of fabric. It has a very vintage pioneer vibe. Simple but beautiful.
