Layer cake

A stack of precut 10 × 10 inch fabric squares, typically 42 in a pack.

Also called: ten-inch squares

What’s inside

Each piece is a 10 × 10 inch square. Moda’s standard Layer Cake has 42 pieces, though the number can vary by collection.

Finished size

With a ¼ inch seam allowance on every side, a 10 inch square finishes at 9½ inches when sewn into a quilt. One 10 inch square can also be cut into four 5 inch squares, the size of a charm pack.
