    NOT a cheater quilt - Genius Quilt

    You could do this with pieced squares as well. Scroll to bottom of page for link to directions. This is cool. http://www.littlebitfunky.com/2010/0...heats-lot.html

    What a great way to dress up a comforter! That's definitely going on my list of things to do.
    People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
    than people who never start projects at all.

    I have a plain white comforter that isn't Down filled but close enough. I never use it but I have some quilt tops that would work on this. Good idea, thanks.

    Cute idea...don't like the raw edges.....I would sew muslin to back of squares to create turned edges.

    Great idea but the raw edges turned me off so Lady Diana your idea is super!

    I had considered "quilting" a printed sheet onto a comforter, but like this idea much better! It has more character and could be a great way to use up leftover blocks!

    Like Lady Diana and susiequilt, I don't like raw edging and would turn the edging as well.

    Geri B, thought of that too...I wonder if it would really be necessary to use a fusible...couldn't you use basting glue of some kind to hold them in place until they are stitched?? Just a thought...not always good...but a thought!

    we have a Cuddledown outlet close to where I live and they offer 50% off on "seconds" with imperfections. You can bet I will be giving this a whirl... I'll start on a small size first. Thanks for sharing the post.
    attitude is everything...the rest will fall into place.
