Disappearing 4-Patch Quilt with Layer Cakes

"Make a queen sized Disappearing 4-Patch Quilt with Layer Cakes in a weekend! Learn the tricks to using precut 10″ squares (layer cakes), ruler stacking, and a serger to make quick work of this bright, large quilt. When this baby is finished and bound, it measures 76″ x 95″. It starts as four simple squares that are sewn together, then sliced four times to create nine patches. Those patches are rearranged slightly to create this queen size easy quilt."
