My First Layer Cake

I bought a layer cake earlier this year, for a project I no longer want to make.  It was my first layer cake and I don't know why I waited this long, since it's nice to get such a well-coordinated set of fabrics.

It's the "For You" collection from Zen Chic.  When I picked it out, blues were on the top.  It's hard to flip through 42 pieces of fabric that like to stick together, especially when they have a big paper band around their middle.

It wasn't until yesterday that I laid them all out and was surprised to find orange in there.  And I knew there was grey, but not that much.  

Lucky for me, my next project needed blue and green, which are the most bountiful colors.

Cut into strips, this would make a pretty log cabin.

And it was only yesterday that I noticed they give you all kinds of other cutting ideas.

That's something I might try in the future, but for now I'm making a tablecloth and decided to leave the blocks uncut.  Well not all of them.  I picked 20 of the blue, green, and grey, plus 1 pink.  The only block I cut was the pink one.
