As the saying goes: “Life is Short, Eat the Cake” … figuratively speaking of course! Actually, the version I really love is “Life is short. Take the trip. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake.” Yep … that version would have been difficult to put on a quilt!

I decided to make it a celebration art quilt first. Next, a birthday cake. After that … maybe a wedding cake! Stay tuned for future blog posts! The finished art collage quilt is 35 inches wide and 50 inches long. The pdf downloadable pattern comes with detailed instructions, supply list, and full-size pattern (print out the pages and tape together). Create a hanging sleeve or use your own favorite hanging method. I had this quilt professionally longarmed. Lisa custom quilted the cake image and used an overall bubble pattern for the background. It is also double batted!

The pdf pattern can be purchased on my Etsy shop.
