This little cutie measures only 5 X 6 inches, and I made a batch of them for my quilt group. I started by searching my fabric stash for any fabrics that made me think of frosted confections and came up with these:
I envisioned a strip pieced project that wouldn't take too long to put together:
The strips for the cake layers went together quickly.
But that little cake stand pedestal was a bit of a bear. Lots of tiny pieces,
and some fiddley piecing was involved before I came up with these:
Once the strips were all prepared, I was able to chain piece them together. I used the striped fabric for the back, and did a pillowcase style construction to make them into mug rugs. Then I stitched in the ditch to outline the cake.
Here are 11 little mug rugs so sweet you can almost taste the sugar! 😋
Those are darling! I hope you made one for yourself!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. Why didn't I think of that?!
DeleteSo so cute. Love them
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were fun to make. I didn't expect to find cake frosting fabrics in my stash. LOL!
DeleteOh my goodness! How cute are these? What a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The strip piecing made it a little easier to "cook" up a whole batch.
DeleteThese are just adorable! The colors and fabrics are perfect for cakes! You will have me looking at my florals in a new way.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually seem to use florals myself, so it was fun to get a chance to incorporate them into a project.
DeleteThose are so dang cute, they’re making me hungry!!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that after spending the time to create a big batch of them, my sweet tooth was oddly satisfied for a while. :-)
