Top 10 Questions About the Kitty Loves Candy 10in Squares Layer Cake
- What is a layer cake?
- A layer cake is a precut set of 42 coordinating fabric squares at 10" x 10", curated from a single fabric collection. The 42-square count provides enough fabric for a generous quilt top using standard layer cake patterns, and every square is pre-cut and ready to sew without any cutting preparation.
- What is the Kitty Loves Candy collection?
- Kitty Loves Candy is a whimsical Poppie Cotton fabric collection featuring cat-themed and candy-inspired prints in sweet, saturated palette tones. It appeals to cat lovers, children’s quilt makers, and quilters who love playful, colorful fabric collections with a distinctive character.
- What size quilt can I make from this layer cake?
- A standard 42-square layer cake makes a generous lap or throw quilt using simple layer cake patterns (approximately 60" x 72" with standard half-square triangle or strip construction). More complex designs may yield slightly smaller finished sizes.
