    Fast & Fun Layer Cake Lap Quilt Patterns

    Last Modified: November 5, 2022 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 405 Comments

    You know me - I love a quilt that looks trickier than it is and comes together fast. I also really love precuts. They're the best way to get a variety of coordinated prints for the best price. So combine cool, quick quilt patterns + 10" x 10" precut squares (aka Layer Cakes or 10" Stackers) and you've got a great collection of quilts! Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting just released her latest book Fast & Fun Lap Quilts, a fantastic collection of fast, Layer Cake quilt patterns.

    Fast & Fun Lap Quilts includes 9 different quilt patterns each requiring only one Layer Cake + background yardage. A great way to use up some of those 10" precuts you might have been hoarding for just the right project!

    These quilts are the perfect size for gifts or snuggling on the couch. (Most in the 55" - 70" range.) The quilt above is called Keystone Corner.

    This quilt is called Three in a Row.

    Another one I'd love to try is this Merry Go Round design. I think there could be some really cool options with this one! I also think it would look awesome as a two-tone quilt.

    One of my favorite quilts is called Diamond Dash. I love the variety of quilt blocks - and it amazes me that this 65" x 65" quilt comes from only 1 Layer Cake + 3 ¼ yards of background fabric. That includes the scrappy binding too!

    Here's a mock-up using my upcoming Portsmouth fabric collection and using a Cloud (White) solid for the background.

    And here's another variation also using Portsmouth with the Oxford stars print as the background. Isn't it cool to see how much a background fabric changes the whole look of a quilt - even though the rest of the prints are the same? (Portsmouth fabric will be available in stores in February 2023.)

    And here's a flat shot of the Diamond Dash quilt that Melissa made for the book. I love seeing different fabric and color options.

    Fast & Fun Lap Quilts is available now at your favorite local quilt shop. Melissa also has signed copies of Fun Fast Quilts available in her shop.

    Be sure to check out Melissa's blog Happy Quilting for more patterns photos and remakes in various fabric choices - so you can really see how versatile these quilt designs are! 

    You can also enter to win a copy of the book and other versions of the quilt patterns from the book. Also, each week a different quilter will be sharing their version of one of the quilts from the book AND giving away a set of 10" precuts (aka Layer Cakes). 

    This week week the folks at Riley Blake Designs have provided a 10" Stacker (aka Layer Cake) of Christopher Thompson's latest collection Blue Jean for this giveaway! Such a great, versatile collection of coordinating blues and whites.

    THIS GIVEAWAY CLOSED To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite size of precuts. Giveaway open until Sunday, October 23 at midnight MST.

    WINNER:

    I’m new to quilting and love your news letter and the free patterns you offer. I have made one of your baby quilts. I love precuts and fat quarter bundles because I don’t feel confident coordinating fabrics on my own. I really like layer cakes because you have enough fabric for a good sized quilt and you have a collection to choose your backing. Love this Blue Jean fabric collection!

    And don't forget you can check out Fast and Fun Lap Quilts here or Amazon where you can also see pictures of all 9 quilt patterns including in the book.

            My favorite precuts are jelly rolls. They are just fun to have sitting around, as well as fun to sew with, but the layer cakes are great because their size makes them so versatile.

        Amy, I always look forward to your posts because you provide such a wealth of info & tips! My favorite precuts would have to be 2.5” strips because I love to drive fast (on my sewing machine, of course!) & they have lots of straight line sewing that I can push the pedal to the metal! Quilts that use 2.5” strips are often a quick finish with great effects!

        Hi! I am a BEGINNER quilter so I would have to say a layer cake is my fav precut since I would be working with larger pieces of fabric. I am taking a beginner quilting class and found out you can make charm packs out of layer cakes by cutting them horizontally and vertically. I’m all about getting more bang from your buck so layer cakes win hands down! Thank you!

I have a copy of Fast and Fun Lap Quilts and am in the process of making Keystone Corners in batiks. Next up, will be choosing one of Melissa's patterns in the book for a special baby quilt.

      Hi Amy, I love Layer Cakes, they are (sometimes) enough to make planned scrappy designs, Give a big enough piece to really see the fabric design and helps determine if I should buy more of that particular fabric in a line. Of course, when I get the whole line in a layer cake, I usually have to buy more fabric since I usually love them all!!

And when I finally made one it was from a jelly roll, the 2nd and now I just binded my 3rd are from 10 inch squares turned into 5 in charms!! I just needed more choices and a little room to starch on one. The longarmer said I really have come a long way on my pressing and not scorching the fabric and my 1/4 in is getting better. That is one of the hardest things for me to do. I just can't get it.!!! I love 10 inch squares!! If you need 3 Charm Pack a layer cake seems perfect to me. Love the look of this book.

      Oh wow this is a hard one. I go through collection phases depending upon a good pattern I find. If I see fabric that works well with small cuts and has small prints, I will use jelly rolls, or charms. If I need to see the fabric better, layer cakes. If I just love it and can't decide, (and it's on sale) fat quarter bundle for the win!!!

      Any time I get the whole, beautifully coordinated fabric collection in one pack, I can't help but be inspired. I find 5" charms limited in size of project, and FQs and 10"s can be overwhelming (and may need to be professionally quilted) so I prefer the Jolly Bars, equivalent to 2 charm packs, which come with a pattern designed for that size of precut. Makes a lap size or table topper, that I might win the wrestling match to get quilted on my home machine.

      Charm packs (followed by jelly rolls. For some weird reason Layer Cakes intimidate me (I feel like I'd have to make an enormous quilt) I have never bought a fat quarter bundle, too rich for my blood ; )

      I haven't met a precept I don't love yet! They really save a lot of time cutting fabric for me. I do love layer cakes, however I'm undecided whether my very favourites are jelly rolls or charm packs. I have used them more often then layer cakes, however layer cakes do make for a fast quilt! Thank you for your inspiration and hints.

      I like layer cakes because they are more versatile. You can cut them in half and then in half the other way and you have a charm pack or cut strips and sew the
      Strips together. Also use them for applique background squares. So handy!

      My favorite precut is layer cakes. Even if I have a charm square pattern it’s big enough. Love the new Portsmouth collection!

      Layer cakes for me! My daughter is expecting her first child and I've gone through a number of them!

      I'm with you...layer cakes are a great precut because of the size and variety in the pack.

      Layer cakes are definitely the easiest to use due to having lots of patterns to choose from and the variety of prints you receive.

      My favorite pre-cut right now is Layer Cakes. I've slowly been trying different pre-cuts with different patterns as I'm learning to quilt. I've enjoyed each one, and really like not having to do so much cutting! 🙂 Thank you so much for your website. I've learned so much from reading what you share. And of course, thank you for the opportunity to win something! 🙂
