My first quilt (and only so far) was made using cheater fabric with round medalions and ducks in the center. The fabric had a floral border, so to make a king size I stitched the two borders together to make something like sashing in the mid. and around each block. It turned out pretty well. I had to go back and requilt the first part I quilted due to my stitches being way to large. After a while I got the hang of it and it looks ok: I have a bad habit of biteing off too much at once with projects.
