Common questions
How many squares are in a layer cake?
Most commercial layer cakes contain 40–42 squares measuring 10 × 10 inches, but always count your specific pack.
What size quilt can one layer cake make?
One pack can often make a crib, lap, or square throw top. Larger quilts generally need background yardage or a second pack.
Should I prewash layer cake squares?
Usually no. Prewashing individual precut squares can cause fraying and size loss; follow the fabric maker and pattern designer’s advice.
