Have a stack of 10 inch squares or layer cake precuts sitting in your sewing room and aren’t sure what to make with them? In this Lori’s Country Cottage How To'sday demo, Lisa shares creative ways to use your 10" quilt squares with inspiration from Carolina Moore’s Ten Inch Square Quilt Block Book and the handy Cake Cutter Ruler.
This quilting tutorial is perfect for quilters who love working with precuts, layer cakes, and quick quilt projects. Lisa explains how the book includes 40+ quilt patterns designed for 10 inch squares, with multiple layout ideas to help you get even more design possibilities from each block. She also demonstrates how the Cake Cutter Ruler can help trim, mark, measure, square up, and create accurate cuts from your 10" squares.
You’ll learn how to clean up the pinked edges on precut squares, mark lines for eight-at-a-time half square triangles, cut 5" squares from 10" squares, and square up blocks using the ruler’s built-in markings. Whether you’re a beginner quilter or an experienced maker looking for fresh layer cake quilt ideas, this demo will inspire you to pull out those precuts and start stitching.
