Olivia Z. ★★★★★

I love that this pattern is designed for a layer cake or 10" squares – makes it so easy to pull from stash. The finished 47"x 59" lap size is perfect for curling up on the couch. Glad it’s a quick sew too; I finished the top in an afternoon.

Jacob F. ★★★★★

The instructions are surprisingly clear, and my first block row came together in under an hour. It’s a fun, modern pattern that really works well with a layer cake.

Amelia ★★★★★

The layer cake friendly design made pulling fabric from my stash so easy, and I love how the instructions break down the piecing into clear steps. The 2-6 hour timeline felt accurate for this modern lap quilt, which was a nice quick project over a weekend.
