there is nothing wrong with using panals- printed fabrics- we use them all the time- and there is no reason to put such a negative slant to them.
it does not matter what is printed on a fabric- we still use it creatively to create a wonderful quilt-or pillow-or tote- what ever= why make that sound as if it is not as valuable as any quilt made with all solid fabrics?

i spent just as long on this quilt as any i've made- and it's center is a wonderful panal of the pledge of allegence- no cheating involved.

sorry for being crabby about this but 'newby's read that (horrible cheat thing) then think they should not use panals-thinking it is a bad thing- it's not- a panal is just another printed fabric....
