Double Slice Layer Cake Quilt

This was a fun quilt to do.  Easy = Fun  The size comes out to a 56 x 56.5, a perfect lap size quilt.  The layer cake I used was Boutique Fabric by Chez Moi for Moda.  I wasn't sure of the colors, but once the quilt top was complete I loved it.  Here is the tutorial that inspired my design.  I used 25 layer cakes for the Double Sliced Layer Cake block.  A 2.5 inch border in cream.  A 4.5 inch border with 15 remaining layer cakes (leftovers were pieced into the back).

Pinterest Inspiration

A piece of foam from the dollar tree, a mirror from hobby lobby, a pack of glue sticks also from hobby lobby, a can of plastic primer, a can of silver paint and 196 spoons and I created this using this tutorial from Linda at craftaholics anonymous.  The next time I make one I will be sure to get all of the glue gun strings off of the spoons.  They really show up after you start putting on the paint.  So a little sanding and more paint later this mirror is now hanging up in the hall bath with a command strip.
